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.
what did they find here they found that visceral fat in these this mouse model of metastatic breast cancer was reduced 70% in the stearic acid group compared to other diets in contrast the total body fat only slightly reduced but the lean body mass
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.

dietary stearic acid leads to reduction of visceral adipose tissue in a thymic nude mice a thymic nude mice are the mouse model that is used for human breast cancer metastasis and interestingly as they say show as I show here stearic acid is a long-chain dietary saturated fatty acid that's been shown to reduce metastatic tumor burden
if you look at mouse models if you look at animal models of obesity and visceral fat it's very clear that stearic acid saturated fats 18 carbon saturated fats one of the reasons i got so interested in this and one of the reasons we developed fire starter at hardened soil the stearic acid fed to animals reduced visceral fat by 70 percent and lean body mass was increased in the stearic acid fed group
dietary stearic acid leads to a reduction of visceral adipose tissue in a thymic nude mice ethymic new mice as you'll read in this abstract are a metastatic tumor breast metastatic tumor model and stearic acid has been shown to reduce metastatic tumor burden in these mice
