It seems that there is a presence of a type of immune cell in the body fat called a memory T cell. Memory T cells learn to fight infection from previous exposure to pathogens. It might also mean that fat should be considered as an immune organ alongside other immune organs.
I think this is cool!
I remember being "I wanna this BF%" person in my youth. Such attitude was killed years and years ago.. Getting older makes you appreciate real food and good amount of it. I think there is a jar of chocolate ice cream sitting in my freezer
