Why are omega-9’s important?
Omega-9 fatty acids are healthy because they can actually decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. In particular, Omega-9 Oils are “next generation” because they are uniquely high (>70 percent) in monounsaturated (“good”) fats, but also have a number of other benefits: In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved a Qualified Health Claim for canola oil which states that replacing 1½ tablespoons of oil with canola oil can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to its unsaturated fat content.
