Synopsis
Fat is not just excess weight, but actually a dynamic, smart, and self-sustaining organ that influences everything from aging and immunity to mood and fertility. With cutting-edge research and riveting case studies--including the story of a girl who had no fat, and that of a young woman who couldn't stop eating--Dr. Sylvia Tara reveals the surprising science behind our most misunderstood body part and its incredible ability to defend itself.
