Cooking
fats at a very high
temperature, such as frying, causes a reaction or decomposition, which
irritates the mucous membrane and interferes with digestion.
Fats
and oils are but little changed during digestion. The fat is
divided into little globules by the action of the pancreatic juice and
other digestive elements, and is absorbed by the system.
Fat forms the
chief material in adipose tissue, a fatty layer lying beneath the
skin, which keeps the warmth in the body, and is re-absorbed into the
blood, keeping up heat and activity, and preserving other tissues
during abstinence from food.
Adipose tissue is derived from lipoblasts. Its main role is to store
energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the
body.
Obesity or being overweight
in humans and most animals does not depend on body weight but on the
amount of body fat—to be specific, adipose tissue.
Fat sometimes aids the digestion of
starchy foods by preventing them from forming
lumpy masses in the
mouth and stomach, hence the value of using butter with bread,
potatoes, etc.
