Macadamia Nut Oil Claims

Details

Created on 01, December, 2012

A celebrity chef promotes macadamia nut oil, saying it’s high in amino acids (protein), B vitamins, minerals, etc.

Oil contains no protein and only trace amounts of minerals. It is the fatty portion of the nut/seed (leaving behind the protein, etc. after extraction). And the only vitamins would be fat-soluble ones, namely vitamin E, just as in all nut and seed oils. Apparently, if you are a TV chef you can say anything and have it believed/printed.
