Our bodies need fat for insula- tion, bone and organ protection and warmth as well as helping brain func- tion and the development of muscle tissue. We just don’t need too much of it.

They stand there with their little helmet and shield, proud with valor, knowing they are helping save our lives, as we curse them for ruining our lives (or at least our appearance!)
So what kinds of things alert the body to produce more of these fat cells? The first is artificial sweeteners. Because their chemical make up is carcino- genic, the body’s first response is to protect the vital organs from being infiltrated with the poison. What this means is that every time you drink a diet coke, while you are saving your- self the calories and the sugar, you are slamming your bodies red alert button which releases stubborn fat cells to run over to your mid section (kidneys, liver, stomach) and keep vigilant watch.
