''The % fats in almonds are reported in the USDA nutrition table. Please don't revert facts in plain sight. '' Zefr (talk) 18:42, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * I apologize if this is not the correct way to respond to talks (I am new to this sort of thing on Wikipedia). As far as the almond oil edit is concerned, I believe the edit, although quick and imprecise, to be more accurate than what is stated in the oils section. Referring to the USDA entry, almonds contain 49.93g of total fat per 100g, 31.551g of which is oleic; therefore, 31.551/49.93= ~63% of total oil being oleic. I concede that almonds contain 32% oleic by total mass, but the information under the oils section is written as "almond oil" contains 32% oleic. Also, by the same standard, I'd recommend saturated oil and linoleic to read as 8% and 25% respectively.
 * Your query encouraged me to recheck the USDA tables for the whole almond and almond oil. The USDA continues to analyze these subjects, and have slightly revised their tables, which can be checked at the bottom of each table ("Link to USDA database"). I revised the tables and text. Perhaps it is clearer now, thanks to your feedback. --Zefr (talk) 16:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
