One of the earliest observations relating to the absorption of fat was made by William Hewson (1) in 1770. Although it had previously been suggested that the milky appearance of blood serum was due to “an admixture of chyle with the blood” (1) Hewson’s description of lipemic serum was the first to show that its turbidity was caused by the presence of fat. These remarkable observations apparently went unnoticed for many years, although numerous workers saw and described Hewson’s “globules” in blood.
