True or False: Beef Contains Healthy Fats?
TRUE! Beef contains stearic acid, the same fat recognized as beneficial in chocolate because it has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels. About one-third of beef’s saturated fat is stearic acid. Additionally, monounsaturated fatty acids, the same type of healthy fat found in avocados and olive oil, are also found in beef. Roughly half of the fatty acids in beef are considered monounsaturated.
