The Claim
The use of 13C-labeled formic acid and oxalic acid as carbon precursors confirms that the synthesized lipid compounds are derived from these labeled precursors and not from external contamination sources.

We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists used carbon atoms with a special tag to track where the fats in their experiment came from — and they found the fats came from the tagged chemicals they added, not from dirt or other random stuff.

The use of 13C-labeled formic acid and oxalic acid confirms that the synthesized lipid compounds originate from the provided carbon precursors and not from contamination.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Lipid Synthesis Under Hydrothermal Conditions by Fischer- Tropsch-Type Reactions
Scientists used special carbon tags (13C) in formic and oxalic acid to see if the fats they made came from those acids — and they did. This proves the fats weren’t just dirt or contamination.
