WHAT IS:

SATURATED FATS AND CARBON ATOMS

Not all saturated fats are equal when it comes to heart health. The type of saturated fats we eat can affect our risk of a heart attack,. People whose diets contain relatively little palmitic and stearic acid—saturated fats composed of 16 or more carbon atoms (longer-chain saturated fats) that are typically found in meats and eat plant-based proteins instead have decreased chances of myocar- dial infarction.
