Is Fat Alpha-Gal Friendly?
CautionSometimes. Fat can come from animal, plant, or synthetic sources and may contain alpha-gal when derived from mammals. If the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Fat and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Fat is a crucial macronutrient that serves as a major source of energy for the body. It is found in both animal and plant sources and is essential for the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Fats can be saturated, unsaturated, or trans fats, each of which has different health implications. Animal-derived fats may contain alpha-gal, a sugar molecule that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly those with alpha-gal syndrome.
