Macro partitioning

Consumption of specific edible oils (frying, sunflower, olive) with fatty acid profiles within standard ranges is associated with a reduction in household oil intake, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

To support heart health, consider reducing your overall intake of cooking oils, particularly frying, sunflower, and olive oils, which are commonly consumed. Ensure the brands you choose have fatty acid profiles that meet national standards, as some brands may have non-compliant levels of saturated or specific fatty acids. Reading labels can help you make informed choices, although many consumers find this difficult.
