Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- 92% of the 694 products that print an amount of oleic acid list more than its 27 mg of delta3-cis-oleic acid (filed by NIH under oleic acid) (median 140 mg).
The NIH database records 2 to 3 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
