If a food product contained fatty acids and glycerol molecules but no triglycerides, could it be advertised as fat free? Explain how this advertisement could be misleading.

Fatty acids aren't pure fat and same for glycerol molecules. You may not be consuming straight fat, but things that create fat in your system.
