Oleic acid (OEA), also known as Omega-9, is the primary monounsaturated fat found in olive oil, but it's also found in sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and sesame oil. Oleic acid can help reduce appetite and promote weight loss. Studies have shown that a higher intake of monounsaturated fat may raise the "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol without raising the "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. It's also been found to enhance uptake of essential fat-burning nutrients compared to other oils while down-regulating expression of certain fat genes. Additionally, research out of the University of California, Irvine, found that this particular type of fat boosts memory.
