What kind of fat do humans make ourselves when we consume excess calories?
Saturated fat.
If it was so harmful and pathogenic would that be the case?
We also have the ability to create monounsaturated fat from saturated fat via the SCD1 enzyme, as needed.
Beware of lard and chicken fat. Those are monogastric animals so their fats tend to have high levels of O6 polyunsaturated fats when they are fed non appropriate grains. Cattle do better even when fed grains.
One hypothesis as to why Americans have become obese is the much higher consumption of O6 linoleic acid, which are unstable and quickly decay to 2-AG and Anandamide which activate cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. Similar to marijuana smoking causes the 'munchies'.
