Nonfat refers to food or products that contain little to no fat. This term is commonly used in the context of dairy products, where nonfat milk, yogurt, or cheese can be found. Nonfat items are often marketed as healthier alternatives for individuals looking to reduce their fat intake. The absence of fat typically alters the texture and flavor of these foods, making them a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.

Etymology

The term 'nonfat' is a compound word formed by the prefix 'non-', meaning 'not' or 'without', and 'fat', which refers to the organic compounds that are greasy at room temperature. The usage of 'nonfat' became prevalent in the late 20th century as health consciousness increased and dietary trends shifted towards lower fat intake. Initially associated with dairy products, the definition has expanded to include a wide variety of food items across different categories. This linguistic evolution reflects changes in consumer demand and nutritional science, emphasizing the desire for healthier options in the marketplace.
