Essential Fatty Acids          Canola Oil          Cod liver oil and fish oil

This subject is very complicated. It shows the making of fat. I am learning
this right now and trying to find the info in books and the library.

       C = Carbon atom
       Sugar / 6 CO          fat /  H-C-H chains

       Glycolysis :
       CCC / CCC
       CCCOOO   -CO2 exhaled out
       CCO  <------>    CC  +   H2O  to Fat
       Krebs Cycle :
       CCO             

       2 CO2 exhaled out

Called Beta-Oxidation: See the Oxygen taken out for storage and returned.

See where sugar breaks down and just before it goes into K-Cycle.
That is where it diverts to Fat. Built from 2-Carbons with all it Hydrogens.
Then Fat reverses <----> to get metabolized in K-Cycle.

If you eat and just sit there sugar turns to Fat.

Glycolysis :
Pyruvate to ------> CCO <---------> to Fat for storage then back again
                           Krebs Cycle :
                           CCO ------> 2 CO2 exhaled

b oxidation pathway

This is really hard to study. Will need lots and lots more time to add
to this page. The other web sites seem too complex. That is very good what I
have so far showing the 2-Carbon with <---> arrows.

Lets consider the idea that hormones in a vast majority of our food is cause of
children being chubby and overweight. The food industries are fattening up their cattle and chickens. Consider this as a source of fat too.
