Stearic acid is a type of long-chain saturated fat, whose long length contributes to its digestion-slowing properties—which can help flatten your belly by keeping you fuller longer. It plays a key role in regulating the performance of mitochondria, the energy-producing powerhouses of our cells. And in clinical studies, stearic acid was found to be associated with lowered LDL cholesterol and inflammation in comparison to other saturated fats. As for where you can get stearic acid on the reg? Grass-fed beef is higher in stearic acid and lower in unhealthy palmitic acid than conventionally raised beef, and dark chocolate that's higher than 70 percent cacao has the most stearic-acid-containing cocoa butter.
