Are MUFA (mono unsaturated fatty acids) non-essential fatty acids? If yes, then why?

Answer 1

Yes they are non essential

This is not because they are unimportant to us; rather, it is because they can be produced in our bodies, so we don't need to worry about their availability through different diets. However, essential fatty acids cannot be produced in our bodies, so they must be consumed through diet.

Yes, MUFA (mono unsaturated fatty acids) are non-essential fatty acids because the human body has the ability to synthesize them internally from other types of fats, such as saturated fats. Therefore, they are not considered essential nutrients that must be obtained from the diet.
