 A wonderful and informative account of what fats are for, 2008-07-16
This is one of my favourite popular science books, because it has a little bit more "oomph!" to its factual content than many others. It covers not just what fats are, but what they are for, partly based on the author's own studies of wild animals who are naturally obese as part of their life cycle (such as many Arctic animals). Along the way you'll learn all sorts of fascinating snippets like why polar bears don't get heart disease despite their all-blubber diet, why ravens peck out the eyes of dead animals, and how different types of dietary fat can affect auto-immune diseases. Caroline Pond is also most certainly NOT a fan of the Aquatic Ape theory of human evolution, and spends a chapter detailing the role of fat in our evolution, and where the Aquatic Ape supporters have got it wrong.
