Summary:
"For generations,
fat
has been the enemy. We've demonized it as a cumbersome health risk and cast overweight individuals as too gluttonous or lazy to make healthy choices. But scientists are coming to understand that
fat
is not so simple. In fact, it's a fascinating and dynamic organ -- one whose size has more to do with biological processes than personal choices. Now,
NOVA
takes you inside the amazing world of
fat
. Why don't sumo wrestlers don't suffer from the health problems that other obese people do? Why has evolution hardwired us to hang onto
fat
even when it's unhealthy? And what would happen if you had no
fat
at all? Through real-life stories of hunter-gatherers, supermodels, and a Biggest Loser contestant,
NOVA
explores the complex functions of
fat
and the role it plays in controlling hunger, hormones, and even reproduction."--Container.
