Keep in mind stearic acid is a saturated fat, which are typically one of the two fats you want to avoid. This is due to the way they're processed my the body.
Trans fats are the worst since they've been chemically altered.
A general rule on fats: if it's solid at room temp, it's likely less nutritious and also likely from an animal. If its liquid at room temp, its likely from a plant or some type of fish.
I'm not saying don't enjoy some bacon or butter on your toast or when you cook, but too much of anything can end badly. Saturated fats, like stearic acid, can be one of the ones that can hurt you in the long run in large quantities.
Fat and weight gain in general will go where it wants due to a variety of variables, from DNA, to activity level, etc. Just remember the joke of "that will all go to your thighs" from tv shows or the American Dad episode where the city banned Trans fats or the SpongeBob episode where Squirdward ate the vault of burgers.
