these have the same long carbon chain it can be 12 14 16 18 carbons long and there is one double bond in a mono unsaturated fatty acid

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.

Uh, so a monounsaturated fat means there is one double bond in the fatty acid chain. And important to point out when it comes to these double bonds and why this probably makes a difference is it changes the fluidity of these membranes because fatty acids and lipoproteins in particular they don't they're not just like individual fats. They're arranged into kind of what are called myels which basically the polar head of the fatty acid is on the outside and on the inside you have all the fatty acid tails.
