Chris points to a very interesting piece in the NYT, noting a Swedish study on the lifecycle of fat cells. From the article :

Every year, whether you are fat or thin, whether you lose weight or gain, 10 percent of your fat cells die. And every year, those cells that die are replaced with new fat cells, researchers in Sweden reported Sunday.

Of course, this opens up a range of questions. What determines the number of fat cells a person has? Can this be changed? And so on. Very interesting.
