Dietary recommendations and scientific evidence around dietary fat has evolved over the years leading to revelations of the benefits of unsaturated fats. Although research has advanced, consumers have not evolved in tandem. California Walnuts conducted a survey1 of American adults to understand their perceptions of fat and knowledge of the different types of dietary fats. The results were clear. Consumers are confused about dietary fat and there is a gap in knowledge when it comes to identifying good dietary fats.
America’s Relationship with Dietary Fat
Specifically, the findings from the consumer survey show that nearly nine in ten people are worried about consuming dietary fat just as much or more than they were five years ago, and 25 percent admit the word “fat” has a negative connotation for them. When it comes to being able to identify good dietary fats, Americans are most familiar with omega-3s. While 72 percent identify omega-3s as being good for them to consume as part of a healthy diet, fewer say the same for polyunsaturated fat (26 percent) and monounsaturated fat (12 percent).
