__What Happens If Eaten Too Much, or Too Little?__** If **eaten too much** causes your body to store the energy in fat cells, this causes obesity. Also that will cause more to be in your blood stream and they can get caught which could cause blood clots or other heart issues. If **eaten too little**, your body begins to break down muscle because triglycerides are used for energy.

__**What Is Affected The Most?**__
In the human body, the blood is affected the most, which in turn affects the heart and liver. The blood is affected because it thickens and when triglycerides are in the blood as large quantities, the arteries walls will thicken.

Basically every food contains fat, there are healthier foods that will still have triglycerides but are better for you such as natural sources like meat and some vegetables.
