The cream

Since I am a confirmed believer in the importance of animal fat in the diet I avoid, on principle, anything with LO or LITE on the label

It is distressing to find therefore that The Times Crossword editor has endorsed the use of LITE as a valid word

Select English, low in calories (6) [Crossword # 23,917]

And another one:

Cream, with lo-calorie drug? (6) [Crossword # 24,041]
