A fatty acid is a building block of fat. Many specific types of fatty acids are found in various fats, each with different properties that influence your health in far-reaching ways. Fatty acids are constructed of chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached with acid groups at the ends. Think of this configuration as a charm bracelet. The carbons form the chain, and the hydrogen and acid groups are the charms.
