A common fatty acid in olive oil, as well as many other plant oils, has been found to stimulate the body's production of new fat cells, creating conditions that could – over time – lead to more fat ...

New research reveals that while losing weight can rejuvenate aging fat tissue, stubborn immune cells keep a “memory” of obesity, offering fresh targets for lasting metabolic health. Study: Selective ...
