How can the level of FFA in the blood increase the release of VLDL from the 
heart and thus cause the release of TAG and cholestrol  become higher? (I read 
it in Harper's biochemistry about lipid transport, 25th edition) How can FFA be 
high in the plasma? Does it mean that eating the lipid from the fruits, such as 
TAG can increase the tendency to get atherosclerosis?
