Oleic acid also has several benefits when used in the right amounts. Apart from this, high consumption can cause some high-risk deficiencies, which could eventually lead to heart failure. Similarly, combining oleic acid with other blood pressure and diabetes medications can cause high-risk outcomes such as low blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it causes eye irritation along with the threat of causing respiratory tract irritations if inhaled. Such harmful side effects associated with the high consumption of the product are anticipated to hamper the market growth globally.
