Previously, other researchers had unsuccessfully looked for brown fat between the shoulder blades, where it is located in mice and in human babies, leading to the conclusion that brown fat disappeared as people age. It was widely believed to only remain in “extraordinary circumstances,” such as living in extreme Northern climates or having a tumor in one’s adrenal glands, according to Kahn. “We thought, maybe the reason we’re not finding...

Poor-quality feed equals poor animal health as well as higher methane production. Also, even when Western firms are willing to share technology or when Western products are available, these options are often unaffordable for the majority in India. For instance, Monensin, an antibiotic whose slow-release formula reduces methane emission...
