The Gulf disturbance of mod

FAT DEPOT FOR
RECONDITIONINC
SCIENTIST SAYS BODY DOES
NOT IMMEDIATELY
CONSUME 1T
(ny AssocIatcd Press,

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-When a
person eats fat, his body does not
Immediately consume it, but
sends it to a fat depot to be re-
conditioned.
This discovery, made at Column
bus University by DR.. Rudolf
Schoenheimer, is one of the prac-
teal results of heavy water,
Heavy water contains hydrogen
atoms of twice normal weight.
All fat is rich in hydrogen of
the ordinary sort. When the
heavy hydrogen is mixed with fat
foods, some of the heavy stuff re-
places the lightweight hydrogen
in the fat. When this fat is fed
to animals, their bodies use it the
same as regular fats.
BY mixing just a little of the
heavy hydrogen with food fats,
DR.. Schoenheimer was able to
trace the course of fat through
the body. He reported the study
to the New York Electrical So
ciety.
After this fat was eaten it went
to the places where fat was stor-
ed. There it released an equal
amount of fat, which was con-
sumed in lieu of the newly-eaten
fat. Il, .
The new fat, while in storage,
was rapidly changed by chemic-
al processes. Some of ifs carbon
was removed. Its chemical bonds
were altered, and replaced by
other bonds. These bonds are the
electrical links that bind atoms
together. A change in the bonds
changes the atomic shape of the
fat. After these chemical changes
the fat was ready for consump-
ton.
