There are two kinds of saturated fats, trans-fat and cis-fat.

Cis-fats are the natural kind of saturated fats, and there is no right-angle twist in the aliphatic chain. Trans-fats are formed by hydrogenating unsaturated aliphatic chains, and wind up with a right-angle kink in the aliphatic chain, which is stored on the body, but cannot be utilized later for energy purposes. It is the kind of stubborn fat that can NEVER be exercised or starved off the fat stores deposited throughout the body.

But most people would not have any way of knowing that.

So, unhydrogenated saturated fat is ok, hydrogenated saturated fat is not?

I haven’t heard of cis fat.

Please take a course in organic chemistry before you say this kind of stuff.

You know the words, but do not know what they mean...

“It is the kind of stubborn fat that can NEVER be exercised or starved off the fat stores deposited throughout the body.”

That’s my story and I am sticking to it!

That makes more sense in one paragraph than most scientific Journals.
