7. Industrial Fats 1. A form of trans fats does occur naturally in ruminants, or gra.s.s eaters. It is the precursor to the omega-6 fatty acid conjugated linoleic acid, the anticancer agent found in the fat of gra.s.s-fed cattle. But this natural trans fat is chemically different from industrial trans fat and quite safe.
