Fat

Descripción

"Convincingly freeing fat from its bad reputation, veteran science writer Connie Leas shares the latest scientific research and clearly explains the biology involved. She not only discusses the critical role our fatty tissue plays in maintaining our health and well-being but also sheds light on those often-confusing terms - such as triglycerides, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and trans fat - that are tossed around in the media, but which few people really understand. If you want to understand what fat is all about, let Leas be your guide."--Jacket.
