Fat Basics
This article is going to describe the basics of what body fat is, and how it gets created.
First, the basics, body fat is made up of fat cells (adipose tissue) that are primarily filled with triglycerides. Triglycerides are either made from sugars, in the liver, or made from the fat you eat by the intestines and by the liver.
Insulin, the hormone that your body produces to bring your blood sugar down (especially after eating), also drives the uptake of triglycerides, into the fat cells.
Finally, fat soluble toxins - can be stored in the fat cells.
