Abstract: Human health has been associated with the consumption of fatty acids. High consumptions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), a necessary precursor to arachidonic acid, may be linked to a variety of human diseases, such as thrombosis and asthma. It is postulated that PUFA results in an increased production of the hormonelike arachidonate, which may be responsible for antagonizing certain disease states. The monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have recently received widespread attention for their portective affects in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Fatty fish, nuts, and their oils are very high in MUFA, and have therefore been of great interest to health scientists.
