Nutrition communications in recent years have placed a priority on reducing dietary fat. Survey findings suggest this priority has fostered consumer obsession with and confusion about dietary fat and contributed to misperceptions about healthful eating. The obsession, confusion, and misperceptions about dietary fat and healthful eating, in turn, have created obstacles to achieving dietary goals. This overview of consumer knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding dietary fat may allow dietetics and other professionals to tailor nutrition communication efforts toward clearing the confusion and better fostering success in reaching dietary goals. Nutrition communicators are encouraged to work together to restore reason to nutrition messages and recommendations and joy to food and eating in an effort to help consumers truly achieve nutrition and health goals.
近年来，营养宣传一直将减少膳食脂肪作为重点。调查结果表明，这一重点导致消费者对膳食脂肪产生痴迷和困惑，并引发了对健康饮食的误解。反过来，对膳食脂肪和健康饮食的痴迷、困惑及误解又给实现饮食目标造成了障碍。对消费者关于膳食脂肪的知识、态度和行为的这一概述，或许能让营养学及其他专业人员调整营养宣传工作，以消除困惑，并更好地促进实现饮食目标。鼓励营养宣传人员共同努力，让营养信息和建议回归理性，让食物和饮食重归乐趣，以帮助消费者真正实现营养和健康目标。
