{"product_id":"fat-connie-leas-9781591026129","title":"Fat: It's Not What You Think","description":"Here is a refreshing antidote to the misleading hype surrounding the topic of fat - both the fat we eat and the fat we carry around. By explaining its biology and sharing the latest research, Connie Leas convincingly frees fat from its bad reputation. For example, she discusses how our much-maligned fatty tissue plays a critical role in maintaining health. Among other vital functions, it stores energy, produces hormones, builds cell membranes, bolsters immunity, and insulates our vital organs.The author also explains often-confusing terms such as triglycerides, polyunsaturated, omega-3, and trans-fat that are tossed around in the media, but which few people really understand. Having spent years researching this subject, Leas has transformed technical material from scientific research into a lively work of popular appeal. Chock full of useful - and sometimes startling - information, Fat: It's Not What You Think is a valuable health resource presented in an accessible, entertaining format.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Connie Leas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591026121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591026129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.87h x 6.24w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 68","brand":"Connie Leas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447931154687,"sku":"9781591026129","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_587af791-45bc-4a1e-acbf-6c81a22e4394.jpg?v=1777235785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fat-connie-leas-9781591026129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
