1 FA = fatty acid. 2 Averages were estimated by calculating the median of reported FA values when appropriate. 3 Content of FAs per serving was calculated from FA values listed (% of total FAs) as described by Bainbridge et al. [13], assuming 3.25% fat per serving whole milk, then multiplied by three. 4 Raw data obtained from previously published work [4]. 5 BCFAs = branched-chain FAs; sum of iso and anteiso BCFA isomers (13:0–18:0).
