Lauric acid is one kind of saturated fat and is associated with several health benefits. Unfortunately, Americans’ intake of lauric acid has almost been eliminated with the misguided decrease in saturated fat intake. This healthful oil is traditionally found in heavy cream and butter of grass-fed animals. One of the highest sources is sheep milk products and lamb. Vegetable sources include coconut oil.
