What Foods Contain Monounsaturated Fatty Acids?
Monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated and trans fatty acids are the main types of fats in the foods you consume. The American Heart Association recommends you choose unsaturated fatty acids over saturated and trans fatty acids because eating this way helps to lower your blood cholesterol. Monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, also are a key element of the Flat Belly Diet.
