saturated fats are a long chain of carbons with no double bonds between the carbons you have loric myristic palmitic and steric
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.

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.

these are saturated lauric 12 carbons myristic 14 carbons palmitic 16 carbons steric 18 carbons no double bonds between these carbons
stearic acid is an 18 carbon saturated fat it looks like this when there are no double bonds between the carbons every one of these bends or these branch points here these angles is a carbon and then there are hydrogens attached so every carbon is saturated with a with hydrogens and that's why we call it saturated there
