Non-Essential Fatty Acids

Omega-9 fatty acids ​(monounsaturated fats) are considered non-essential because they can be produced by the body from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as needed. Omega-9 fatty acids are the most abundant fats in the body's cells. Consequently, if you don't have enough omega-3s and omega-6s​ to make omega-9s, you must get omega-9s from your diet. 

Oleic acid is the most common type of ​omega-9 fatty acid in the diet and is a monounsaturated fat. ​Monounsaturated fats​ have only one double bond, so they are liquid at room temperature and become solid when chilled. ​​Consuming foods high in ​monounsaturated fats in the proper amounts is central to a healthy diet.
