The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
if you had any doubt that animal fat is one of the most magical foods on the planet i also want to share with you penta decanoic acid this is a c15 odd chain saturated fat and it parallels broad associations in humans with health benefits it's probably considered actually essential but we don't make it but it's in food
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.

where does c15 occur well it occurs in animal fats not in plant fats imagine that look at this paper right here the efficacy of dietary odd chain saturated fatty acid pentadecanoic acid parallels broad associated human health benefits could it be essential and i think it certainly probably is essential and they find that pairing our findings of this authors in the study with evidence that c15 is not readily made endogenously in the human body lower c15 dietary intake and blood concentrations are associated with higher mortality and a poorer physiological state and number three c15 demonstrated activities and efficacy that parallel associated human health benefits we propose c15 as a potential essential fatty acid
Pairing our findings with evidence that C15, which is pentadecanoic acid, is not readily made endogenously in the human body. Lower C15 dietary intake and blood concentrations are associated with higher mortality and poor physiologic state. And three, C15 has demonstrated activities and efficacy that parallel associated human benefits in humans. We propose C15 as a potential essential fatty acid. An essential fatty acid found almost exclusively in animal foods.
further studies are needed to evaluate the potential impact of decades of reduced odd chain fatty acid containing foods as contributors to c15 deficiencies and susceptibilities to chronic disease
