The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body’s Least Understood Organ and What It Means for You
The book focuses on popular misconceptions of fat, and how fat in reality does so much good for us.
People fear fat, but really it is just an endocrine organ.
ENDOCRINE ORGAN
- “Adipose Tissue”, or fat, is an endocrine Organ.
- The endocrine system controls all of the hormones in your body.
- Therefore, fat is incredibly important for our development and homeostasis as well.
- Our body tries to hold on to fat when we eat it for a reason.
