Why don’t they get arounf to listing foods which contain these factors?
I think the study is sketchy.
I looked for foods fed to rats and see that they isolated Stearic Acid (SA) and gave 100mM to the rats over a 24 hours period.
Sadly, sa is in everything, including supplements I buy, foods etc.
I found the mention of the ‘sa’ given to rats in PDF download under the heading ‘Supplemental materials’ which encompasses ‘Materials and Methods’.
Mice are given sa for 24 hrs, then investigative analysis (blot tests etc.) are subject to the same quantity of sa for 24 hrs.
I think this is an anti meat article - SA is more prevalent in animal fats. I just find the article odd.
stearic acid is also known as octadecanoic acid. It’s a soft waxy solid with the formula CH₃₁₆CO₂H. SA is a prevalent fatty acid in nature, found in many animal and vegetable fats, but is usually higher in animal fat than vegetable fat.
But maybe I’m just paranoid, because elsewhere on the ‘net I read that stearic acid in edible bugs makes them taste better! *shudder*

That's what I was wondering but I can pretty much guess by the lack of mention.
Likely transfats and seed oils.
I'm glad mr mm and I switched from margarine to real butter and Crisco to lard DECADES ago.
I figured that if I couldn't pronounce it, it didn't belong in my body. My body does know what to do with real food. I'll stick to that.
