Oleic Acid

Oleic Acid is a monosaturated fat generally believed to be good for one's health. Oleic Acid can be found in large quantities in olive oil (it makes up about 55-85%). Other good sources are peanuts, sunflower, canola, cod liver, coconut, soybean, and almond oil. Modern studies suggest that oleic acid helps lower levels of harmful low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the bloodstream, while leaving levels of beneficial high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) unchanged. This leads some to believe that oleic acid can help with heart diseae. Oleic acid is also being considered for anti-cancer agents. It helps with digestion and has demonstrated antioxidant properties.
