The takeaway? Don't skip fats! 🚫 ⚠️ Cutting out fats can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Instead, focus on a balanced diet with healthy, plant-based unsaturated fats 👍 For more info, visit https://t.co/O2Ihqy7sgh #HealthBenefits

Our industry's #vegetableoils actually provide powerful benefits 💪 🧬 Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) helps maintain normal cholesterol. ✨ Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress. 🙌 Both are @EFSA_EU-approved health claims. #FoodSafety #HealthyFats

So, what about weight gain? 🧐 👉 Weight gain is about overall calorie intake, not just fats. The 🗝️ is to choose the right kind of fats, like healthy unsaturated fats from plant-based liquid oils, over saturated fats. #NutritionFacts #DietaryGuidelines

Fact: Fats and oils are essential for your health. 💡 The @EFSA_EU and @WHO recommend that 20-35% of your daily energy comes from fats. They help with: ✅ Energy ✅ Vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K) ✅ Hormone production #Nutrition #EFSA #WHO

The takeaway? Vegetable oils are a diverse group with unique compositions. 🧑‍🔬 Our industry provides a range of oils to meet dietary needs & consumer preferences, keeping up with scientific knowledge & ensuring compliance with 🇪🇺 safety & quality standards 💛 #FoodScience

🧠 Did you know #Omega3 and #Omega6 fatty acids are "essential"? Your body needs them but can't produce them, so you get them from food! 💡 Sources include: 🌱 Omega-3: #rapeseed, #soybean , #linseed 🌱 Omega-6:#sunflower seed, soybean #PUFA #MUFA #HealthBenefits #FoodSafety

Even if all refined vegetable oils & fats have a similar neutral colour, they have very different properties, due to their natural composition. But they all contain fatty acids: #SAFA, #MUFA, & #PUFA. Saturated fats are typically solid at room 🌡️while unsaturated ones are liquid.

⚠️ Fact: Oils don't look the same! 🎨 The color of an oil depends on its plant source & if it's refined. Refining gives oils a neutral color, while unrefined oils can be green or dark yellow. #FoodFacts #NutritionFacts

🫙 Myth 2: All vegetable oils are similar and look alike🤔 Have you ever seen a dark green oil next to a light yellow one? Their colors, and their uses, are totally different! We're busting this myth with facts. A thread 🧵 #Mythbusters #FEDIOL #VegetableOils
