Okay, so I shouldn't post late at night after grading a gazillion student NUTRITION papers (of all things)...after thinking about it, yes, it is lipase that turns it rancid (key word being rancid which is what happens to FAT). So, now that I've publicly admited to 1624 people that I'm losing my brain...sorry...it doesn't help that my 22 month old sent me to the ER today for stitches from wielding a steak knife (no kidding--dh left dishwasher open and I stupidly tried to grab the knife). Very humbly yours...oh yeah, please promise not to tell my students... -- Chris Hafner-Eaton, PhD, MPH, CHES, IBCLC [log in to unmask] 541-753-7340; mom/wife/educator/lactation consultant/ scientist/ researcher/ organic gardener/photographer/lapidary creator/lousy cleaner. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
