2 Nutrition Notes Linoleic acid, also called omega-6, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential in the diet because the body cannot make it. The body uses linoleic acid to make other needed fatty acids. One should consume a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to avoid problems with blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation. Dietary fats dissolve and transport vitamins, fat dissolves flavorful compounds in food giving it taste, and fat satisfies hunger.
