The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
And when you for natural unsaturated fats like monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats, most of those double bonds are what are called cy double bonds. And I don't want to get too far into the biochemistry of it, but essentially if you have a cy double bond, it puts a kink in the fatty acid tail.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So, um, >> I almost wish I brought a a chalkboard to draw on, but anybody who's taken a biochemistry class will remember this, but a cis double bond forces the two carbons up or down, but they are on the same side of the double bond. So, that's the real kink. >> Whereas a trans double bond, you have a carbon here, a double bond, and then the other carbon is here. That stays much straighter than if you force the kink up or down.
