Fat is a necessary part of the diet. Broad advice to eat as little fat as possible is therefore not useful. At the same time, more fat does not automatically mean a better diet.
Roles in the body
Fat provides energy, forms part of cell structures and supports the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. Some fatty acids must be obtained from food.
Quantity and type
Different fats have different compositions. The German Nutrition Society recommends considering fat quality and choosing plant sources appropriately. Individual needs can vary.
Nuts as one option
Nuts and seeds contain natural fats and other nutrients. They can complement a varied diet, while nutrition information and portion size remain relevant.
When advice is useful
If you have symptoms, a medical condition, are pregnant or follow a highly restricted diet, consult a qualified professional. Compare Nefisso varieties.
Sources and context
This general guidance is based on information from the German Nutrition Society on dietary fat and its guidance on nuts. It does not claim specific effects for Nefisso products.
Note: The information printed on the relevant Nefisso pack is always binding.
