  • Zero. Fat contains no blood vessles.
  • "Ramzi Cotran (former Chairman of Pathology at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, now deceased) told me that from confocal microscopy it had been determined that a pound of fat contains approximately one mile of capillary tubing. And it is most likely the reason that if you have high blood pressure and your physician says to please lose a few pounds, you lose a few miles of tubing, which require less eventual head of pressure."

  • Wrong, fat still needs a blood supply. In 1 pound there is roughly .3 miles in one pound of fat. This is why obese people have high blood pressure, the heart has to work extra hard to get blood through all these extra miles of vessels.
  • Uh yeah what they said. You're blood vessels don't run through your fat tissue. They all run through your muscles underneath the fat.
  • i'd say around 100 metres, seems reasonable, probly an overestimate if anything
