**Fat as a Storage Site for Toxins:**
Fat tissue actually stores many toxins rather than helping the body deal with them better. Many environmental pollutants and heavy metals are fat-soluble and accumulate in fatty tissue over time. These toxins can include persistent organic pollutants (POPs), heavy metals, and other obesogenic compounds that are stored in fat cells.

the theory is that this storage is intentional to isolate the toxins from the body... so the more toxins the more fat is necessary to "dilute the harm"
