fats

When dietary fats enter the body through the foods we eat, they must be sorted and processed into compounds called lipids, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, or sphingolipids.

One simple strategy is focusing on the four F's of food: fiber, phytochemicals, unsaturated fats and fermented foods.

Instead, they’re typically made from cheap ingredients such as modified starches, sugars, oils, fats and protein isolates.

Unlike carbohydrates, which are stored in muscle and liver as glycogen, and fats, which are stored in adipose tissue, we have nowhere to store excess protein/amino acids.

In a specially approved test flight last year, Virgin Atlantic flew a Boeing 787 from London to New York using fuel exclusively produced from waste fats and plant sugars.
