Monounsaturated Fatty Acids

Monounsaturated fatty acids are unsaturated fats found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados. Higher intake has been associated, in observational studies, with more favorable lipid profiles and lower markers of inflammation; these associations are correlational and do not establish that monounsaturated fatty acid intake causes improved heart health in any individual.
