So what I read is: there are two types of fat and one is particularly bad, and its hard/expensive to measure visceral fat.
Some obvious questions:
1) How does body choose to store as visceral vs. subcutaneous? Does excess diet glucose vs. excess triglycerides make a difference?
2) How does body decide which fat to release energy from? Does it matter what the actual energy demand is?
3) What do we know about visceral fat? very hard to Google anything too interesting.
