Consumers Still Hazy on Healthy and Unhealthy Fats

According to the blog author, many American still seem unpersuasive towards healthy fats. When it comes to the public, 1 in 5 respondents mistakenly believed trans fats to be healthy. This leads to confusion for people regarding what fats should they eat. Restaurants are also trying to combat this confusion. By blending different cuisines and adding ethnic influences, healthy fats could become more prevalent on menu items for customers to consume.

Key Takeaways:

  • Many American consumers still struggle to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy facts. When talking about good fats and bad fats specifically, the confusion out there is pretty pervasive.
  • The results indicated that one in five respondents mistakenly believed trans fats to be healthy.
  • I think that it’s important to continue educating consumers about choosing good fats because at the end that’s going to help us live healthier and better lives.
