Where does FAT go? Ever wonder?

Fat 'breathed out' of body via lungs, say scientists
These results show that the lungs are the primary excretory organ for weight loss

Fat from food is stored in the body in cells called adipocytes. It is stored as a compound called triglyceride.

Triglyceride consists of three kinds of atoms; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and this means that when it is broken down around a fifth of it forms water (H2O) and four-fifths becomes carbon dioxide (CO2).

The water formed may be excreted in the urine, faeces, sweat, breath, tears, or other bodily fluids and is readily replenished by drinking water.

But the exhaled carbon (in CO2) can only be replaced by eating food or consuming beverages such as fruit juice.

Of course the Doctor is always on some track that could happen, sort of:)

Spatial awareness - is a real bug thing for me, so many people have none, and act like lumps in the way of the more agile.
And swing their turtle backpacks to slam into you - but pretend nothing happened.

So - test your spatial awareness.
Stand with your arms out shoulder level, hands out flat.
Now keep moving them out/back until you can't see your hands out of the corner of your eyes.

I can almost see around corners, maybe I have too much spatial awareness:( Tell me how you go. how far can you see?

Yeah that is on now, spectacular footage.

I used to have a large pet pufferfish, they are lovely, but very noisy and splash a lot.
 
Yes, incredible little Architects only discovered 1o years ago apparently. I've caught quite a few in the ocean, hungry buggers. I imagine they could make quite endearing pets.
