Another example of the sloppy and sensationist kind of science journalism that only creates confusion among the readers instead of responsibly and thouroughly covering a topic.
First, it is a study on dolphins! Not exactly a well-established animal model for type II diabetes.
Second, it is all about heptadecanoic acid, a rare saturated fatty acid (found in trace amounts in milk fat), certainly not “saturated fat” per se, as the title misleadingly suggests.
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.
I give a special increased priority to my supporters who message me through Patreon, so please consider making use of their messaging system by pledging a small amount to support my website.
