    This is cool and all but just cuz somebody is plus sized doesnt mean u need to call their cells fat. Thats kinda fucked up.

      My dude, the person isn’t being called fat 😊, though reading the article that way makes it kinda morbidly hilarious.

      The type of cells are adipose cells, which are also called fat cells, because they store fat in them.

      The article does mention it. The Pt was already on immunosuppressants due to organ transpant. A significant portion of the article is spent addressing this.
