What Wikipedia says

Malvalic acid is a cyclopropene fatty acid found in baobab seed oil and cottonseed oil. This unusual molecule is thought to be one of the causes of abnormalities that develop in animals that ingest cottonseed oil. Refining processes, such as hydrogenation, can remove or destroy malvalic acid.
