but when you look at who we are as humans and where we've come from there does appear to be an evolutionary set point for polyunsaturated fats they're just not that prevalent in our environment and on the flip side the saturated fats like stearic acid or pentadecanoic acid a15 carbon saturated fat and odd chain saturated fat all of which are found in animal fat those are the prevalent ones in the natural world um in connection with the other fats that occur in animal fat animal fat doesn't have a lot of polyunsaturated fat in it and today i just i think it's so interesting to imagine that pushing tons of polyunsaturated fat in our diet could be making us fat could be causing our adipocytes to grow to become hypertrophic and eventually to have trouble dividing which is called adipogenesis leading to fat sick adipocytes
