What this article doesn’t tell you is that regardless of how well lipids are digested, it is not (primarily) fats that are stored as fats. It is carbohydrates that are metabolized into fat at the cellular level signaled by the presence of insulin. It seems very ironic and counter intuitive to most people, but fats do not make you fat. Carbohydrates do.

actually, article does indeed imply (falsely) that fat makes you fat:

“These microbes directly influence our metabolism and our propensity to gain weight on certain diets.”

pretty much ALL popular/fake stream media continue to propagate the falsified theory that eating saturated fat will kill you via “clogging up your arteries” and/or making you fat.
