[Closed] When somebody loses weight, where does the fat go? BMJ article.

Seems a bit like arguing that a burnt log doesn't turn into heat and light, but smoke and ash.

The *mass* of the log doesn't turn to heat and light...

I'm talking about why it's in the NEWS....

Xmas BMJ fluff article, plus increasing media awareness that most people are pretty uninformed about how their bodies work and will get high ratings on twitter etc

The *mass* of the log doesn't turn to heat and light...

Yes, but that takes us back to the badly-worded question. It's absolutely correct to say that the oxidation of fat produces energy...

depends wither the fat has even, odd carbons or is unsaturated lol
