Reply To: Adduct formation, COVID vaccines another cause for side effects

No, saturated fats, characterized by single carbon-carbon bonds, do not inherently form adducts; adducts are formed when other reactive molecules, such as those derived from lipid peroxidation (https://www.google.com/search?q=lipid+peroxidation&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari&mstk=AUtExfC2jBbIMYNHOGCePkh_YvP-llQ–EwEHZMnxUF5wdC4YpiRBkRPzO70CVGRjFwBsApKCL0inAFFrY-CS5D5V-vmmWgqpO3bzxmcjTMfT6aGn3ty9Izf5lZ8TLOwdrpDrdQ&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwig6bvomd6PAxWcFTQIHQcrKCIQgK4QegQIARAD) (primarily from polyunsaturated fats (https://www.google.com/search?q=polyunsaturated+fats&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-ca&client=safari&mstk=AUtExfC2jBbIMYNHOGCePkh_YvP-llQ–EwEHZMnxUF5wdC4YpiRBkRPzO70CVGRjFwBsApKCL0inAFFrY-CS5D5V-vmmWgqpO3bzxmcjTMfT6aGn3ty9Izf5lZ8TLOwdrpDrdQ&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwig6bvomd6PAxWcFTQIHQcrKCIQgK4QegQIARAE)), bind to cellular components like proteins or other lipids. While saturated fats can damage cells by making membranes rigid and contributing to cholesterol buildup, this is a structural and metabolic effect, not the formation of chemical adducts.
