Omega-3 fatty acids have been touted as having a huge variety of possible benefits. The biggest, most-common benefit is a decreased chance of Heart disease. Here is a more inclusive (but not exhaustive) list:
Officially speaking, "The US National Institute of Health lists three conditions for which fish oil and other omega-3 sources are most highly recommended (Grade A scientific evidence): Hypertriglyceridemia, Secondary cardiovascular disease prevention and High blood pressure. It then lists 27 other conditions for which there is B or C grade evidence."
Actually the type of lipid harmful to health is TRANSFAT omega 3 contain less transfat.
The omega 3 by it self doesn't have any known side effects.
But since are most sources of omega 3 are coming from fish oil. it can seriously have many side effects.
There is other type of omega 3. like flax seed and sage plants which are known as no side effects

Reducing heart diease, inflammation, and arrhythmia. Also: Lowers blood pressure and LDL (bad) cholesterol, alleviates rheumatoid arthritis, maintains a balanced mood, improves concentration, attention and coordination, enhances brain function, can even promote refreshing sleep and help women alleviate the emotional symptoms associated with menstruation and ease period pains.
mano unsaturated fats come from plants such as olive oil, canola oil and peanut oil. Poly unsaturated fats come from plants such as corn oil, safflower oil as well as from fatty fish oil such as omega 3. These both have health benefits expecially fish oil and lowering cholesterol levels
Fatty acids can have a number of bad effects on the body. They are known to increase cholesterol and improve the changes of contracting heart disease. These fatty acids are often found in foods such as red meats.
Essential fatty acids are essential for your health and must be consumed in foods. They cannot be synthesized by the body.

Only if it is organic grass fed beef. Most of that stuff you get from the feed lots has higher saturated fats and poor Omega3/Omega6 fatty acid ratios.
Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids is part of a healthy diet and helps people maintain their health.
Fatty acids and glycerol
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Yes, Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are fats that the human body cannot produce on its own, so they must be obtained through the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for various bodily functions and are known for their health benefits, particularly in areas such as heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. The three main types of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is primarily found in plant-based sources like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts, while EPA and DHA are commonly found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Consuming a balanced amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet is important for overall health.
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Often sold as fish oil supplements, Omega-3 fatty acids are a known anti-inflammatory, working against the effects of prostaglandins.
