I have a question on a point that I feel is central to "Sweet Poison". In chapter 6 amongst the detailed biochem discussion the last line of page 74 says that the excess ATP is converted to fatty acid in the liver. It is a while since I studied biochem but I don't remember any pathway that converts ATP to fatty acid. 

Can anyone point me to a reference which describes this pathway? Or can anyone (David?) tell me the path taken in this anabolism?  

Or should it be that the ATP assists in the production of fatty acid and if so what are the constituents.

I am not questioning that excess fructose leads to excess fatty acid I am interested in the exact path.

 

Thanks,

Gerard
