Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid; it is odorless, colorless to slightly
yellow. Oleic acid is found in plant oils, including avocados, olives, sesame
seeds, pecans, almonds, peanuts, and other nuts. It is also found in animal
fats.
Oleic acid helps lower low density
lipoprotein (LDL), which is often referred to as the bad cholesterol. In addition, Mediterranean diet contains high
levels of oleic acid, which was reported to lower
cancer risks. Another report showed that oleic acid
suppresses elevated levels of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 for its
anticancer activity.
