Edible Oil: What is 1:1:1

The "1:1:1" ratio comes from the research results of authoritative organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Food Organization and the Chinese Nutrition Society. That is, the ratio of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the human diet is 1:1. A ratio of 1:1 ensures balanced nutrition. In July 2002, Golden Arowana launched the second generation of blended oil, which was harmonized with 8 kinds of oils including refined rapeseed oil, soybean oil, corn germ oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, flaxseed oil and safflower oil. As a result, a "1:1:1" propaganda slogan was thrown out, saying that "a new generation of blending oils cleverly combines the actual conditions of the Chinese diet, making the human body take photos of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The optimal ratio of 1:1:1 is achieved to ensure nutritional balance."

In response to "1:1:1", experts from the China Institute of Cereals and Oils recently made an unrelenting critique: "At present, there is no single edible oil or edible blended oil component in the domestic and foreign markets that can achieve a balanced ratio of 1:1:1 nutrition. All products that meet the national edible oil standards are within the scope of health, safety and nutrition." "If the oils really reach 1:1:1, the appearance will be viscous or even impossible to flow." China Oil and Oil Society Another expert from the Grease Division said.

In fact, as early as two years ago, consumers repeatedly questioned the "1:1:1" incident across the country. On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2002, Yang Hong, a consumer in Nanjing known as the “other kind of Wang Hai”, found that in the investigation of some local shopping malls and supermarkets, there was an advocacy of the “Golden Dragon Fish” second-generation blend oil. "Word games" mislead consumers who don't know the truth.

Coincidentally, on the eve of the 2002 Mid-Autumn Festival, Beijing's consumer Wu also stood up, pointing the contradictions of criticism to "1:1:1." Wu said that he learned from TV commercials, poster advertisements in shopping malls, and product packaging that Arowana's second generation of blending oil "conformed to the health theories proposed by the three authoritative organizations," and purchased a Carrefour supermarket in Beijing. Barrels of 5 liters installed Arowana second-generation oil, but he found that Arowana's second-generation oil blended under the product label of the “perfect ratio of 1:1:1 dietary fatty acids” to the specific nutrient profile of the product. The ratio of the three is "12:44:44."

In the face of doubts, Jinlongyu explained: “The 1:1:1 ratio that appears in advertisements refers to the proportion of fatty acids that the human body should consume in a daily diet. In addition to blending oil, the source of saturated fatty acids consumed by the body is , as well as meat and other foods, so the 1:1:1 stated in the advertisement is not the ratio of fatty acids in Jinlongyu blend oil, and the ratio of 12:44:44 of golden aquarium blend oil is added to normal intake of meat. The ratio of saturated fatty acids contained in foods is exactly 1:1:1."
