• Stearic acid: A saturated fat found in most meat and dairy products that may reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. 

• Oleic acid: A monounsaturated fat also found prominently in olive oil linked to healthier body weight and reduced inflammation.

• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): A naturally occurring trans fatty acid that has been shown to have immunomodulating, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and weight-regulating properties. As opposed to manmade or artificial trans fats, natural trans fatty acids like CLA are beneficial to health when consumed in moderation.
