Metabolic Water produced by metabolism of lipid/protein/carbos

How do you get 107g of H2O from 100g lipid? I think there is an error here. Anybody have a better reference?

Let me point us in the direction here -- to get the discussion started: Oxygen is the electron acceptor in biological systems here on Earth. So the electrons stripped from fat = lipid , as well as from other foods inc carbohydrates and all of our reduced substrates, end up being transferred to oxygen atoms and then the oxygen atoms combine with hydrogen nuclei = protons and you get molecules of .... WATER!! Like, voila, water. Now what's interesting to me about that is that they didn't actually teach us that in school, in biochemistry class. We did learn about the Electron Transport Chain, in fact my professor back in the day called it a bucket brigade carrying electrons. And oxygen WAS mentioned. But the reality and the concept that the oxygen you breathe turns to piss, well, I think that didn't make it into the lecture or onto the Final. Up until the other day I had never heard the term "metabolic water", it's kind of quaint; and the article never actually mentions anything about piss either; and it's not strictly true that the water turns to piss anyway, it's just, as Joe Bob Briggs used to say, "Just water". Joe Bob was referring to fancy bottled water like Perrier back in the day. Richard8081 (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope somebody goes in and edits that 1000 grams = one thousand grams of water out and restores it to 107 grams, from fat. That's what the unnamed discussant was asking about, how you could get 100 grams or so of water from burning 100 gm of fat. That's about right. Lipids are REALLY reduced.
