Zombies and EFAs

22 Oct: Zombies, BRAINS and Essential Fatty Acids

As we don’t have any zombies to consult for this article, we must rely on a bit of speculation as to why zombies have a nutritional preference for brains.  The human brain is the fattiest organ in the body, made up of at least 60% fat.  However if the fat was the only nutrient a zombie was interested in, adipose tissue (body fat) might be an easier target, especially in North America where roughly 70% of the population is overweight or obese.
