...calories instead of storing them. The discovery was made simultaneously by three independent research teams in Boston, the Netherlands, Finland, and Sweden. Brown fat and its potentially crucial role in warding off obesity has since been the subject of three articles in the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
