Omega-6 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat necessary for human health. They are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them on its own and must obtain them from food. Omega-6 fatty acids play vital roles in maintaining healthy skin, supporting cell growth, and regulating metabolism. The main omega-6 fatty acid is called linoleic acid (LA), which is found in various plant-based oils such as corn oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil. While omega-6 fatty acids are essential, excessive intake relative to omega-3s may contribute to inflammation and other health issues.
