is fat actually generated somewhere within the body or does it just accumulate when too much is consumed? i know that the reason for fat in the body (or at least one reason) is because it stores more calories than other substances (9 cal./g, as opposed to 4 cal./g in carbohydrates and such), but is it actually created when there are calories needing to be stored (if that makes any sense at all)? I don't know a lot on this, so i apologize if i'm not being completely accurate here, but i'm curious, so i thought i'd ask. thanks in advance.
