		The geometrical configuration of the carbon to carbon bonds (109 degrees) is important because it determines the shape of the fatty acid, particularly as we consider monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
		Monounsaturated fatty acids most frequently occur in higher concentrations in plant foods such as olive oil, most nuts, and avocados.
		Oleic acid is the "normal" form of this monounsaturated fatty acid because it occurs most frequently and in the highest concentration in foods.

		It was suggested that more monounsaturated fat and less carbohydrate be prescribed, especially in diabetic patients with lipemia.
		Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to compare 2 ad libitum diets in diabetic patients--one high in monounsaturated fat and the other low in fat and high in fiber and complex carbohydrates--to ascertain which diet would lead to greater weight loss and greater improvements in dyslipidemia and glycemic control.
