Supplementary Material for: A Scoping Review of Current Guidelines on Dietary Fat and Fat Quality

Introduction: We conducted a scoping review of dietary guidelines with the intent of developing a position paper by the “IUNS Task force on Dietary Fat Quality” tasked to summarize the available evidence and provide the basis for dietary recommendations. Methods: We systematically searched several databases and Web sites for relevant documents published between 2015 and 2019. Results: Twenty documents were included. Quantitative range intake recommendations for daily total fat intake included boundaries from 20 to 35% of total energy intake (TEI), for monounsaturated fat (MUFA) 10–25%, for polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) 6–11%, for saturated-fat (SFA) ≤11–≤7%, for industrial trans-fat (TFA) ≤2–0%, and Conclusion: Although the methodological approaches of the dietary guidelines were heterogeneous, most of them recommend total fat intakes of 30–≤35% of TEI, replacement of SFA with PUFA and MUFA, and avoidance of industrial TFA.
