Hmmm ... this can't possibly mean that food scientists will acknowledge the need for fats in the diet. Rather, I suspect .. this discovery will lead to the development of more chemicals and fake fats to put in processed foods, to lure the paying public with the promise of "all the taste with none of the fat". Or worse, they'll try to develop some drug to block these fat-taste receptors -- then peddle them as the newest great diet-drug along with Xenical.

Having too LOW blood fat levels is associated with as many health risks as having too high.
