Why the Fat You Eat Matters

Greg Shearer, the 2021 recipient of the Pauline Schmitt Russell Distinguished Research Achievement Award, presents "Why the fat you eat matters: The fats we eat affect how our body responds to disease." Shearer addresses two findings from his research: first, it is not a single fat that is used to generate regulatory signals, and second, that signals are transported throughout the body and can change functions in distant areas.

“Everyone has heard advice on how much fat to eat, and what kinds of fat to eat. Why is it such an issue? Our research sheds light on how fats help us regulate basic bodily functions, from our immune responses to how our hearts work to how our brains work.” - Greg Shearer, professor of nutritional sciences
