Saturated fatty acids in selected foods. Values are for raw (uncooked) products. A: Grams of saturated fat per 100 g of the foods. B: Saturated fat as a percentage of the total fat content. Values for all foods are derived from official nutrient tables [28], except those of marrow and brain, which are from fatty acid analyses of wild ruminant tissues [29]. *Rear metatarsal bone marrow and homogenized brain. Fat content of the tissues vary. The values in A are based on a medium fat percentage of 70% (of total weight) in the marrow, and 60% in the brain
