Eating chili peppers can help burn brown fat, research shows.
What do low and chili peppers have in common? They both could help burn fat, a new study shows.
Exposure to cold and consumption of chemicals found in chili peppers both appear to increase the number and activity of so-called brown fat cells, which burn energy, rather than store it as typical "white" fat cells do, said Takeshi Yoneshiro, a researcher at Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan.
The study is the first to show that brown fat activity can be induced in people who appeared to have very few or no brown fat cells, said Dr. Clifford Rosen, a professor of medicine at Tufts University who wasn't involved in the study.
Participants in the study who were exposed to cold also had less "bad" white fat at the end of the experiments, Rosen told LiveScience.
Cold burns fat
Brown fat cells are currently a subject of intense research as a target for anti-obesity drugs, said Dr. Soren Snitker, a medical researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine who wasn't involved in the study. (9 Myths That Can Make You Fat)
In the new study, researchers exposed eight people with little or no brown fat cells to moderately low temperatures of 63 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) for two hours daily, over the course of six weeks. Compared with the control subjects, who went about their normal lives, the cold-exposed people had about 5 percent less body fat at the end of the study, and also burned more energy when exposed to cold, according to the study, which was published in August in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The researchers also looked at people who ate capsinoids, which are normally found in chili peppers, for six weeks, and found they also burned more energy than the control group when exposed to cold, but didn't lose any more white fat than the control group.
The Chinese Bamboo Partridge, Bambusicola thoracicus, is a genetic ancestor to the Red Junglefowl and Grey Junglefowl, which gave us the modern chicken. Because bamboo drops is fruit once in 20 years, so the bamboo partridge developed the ability to eat huge amounts and then lay many more than when food is scarce. The Chinese call them Bamboo Pheasants.
Thanks. Google imaged it and found photos of Reeves’ and Amhersts. Amherst’s are a little high strung, and Reeves’ just want to tear holes in you. Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some grey junglefowl, though.
Around here in middle of TN most Mexican women over 30 are fat like black women
Maybe not quite that bad
I was just in Dallas for 5 days
Same thing
In Mexico for itself ....same thing
With today’s abundant calories
Most populations of I’ve seen anywhere with high Amerindian DNA run chunkier than all but lower socio economic class whites
Which begs the question
Its more about peer pressure and discipline than food availability
I noticed Dallas has more better looking mexercan wimmin....than here
Then try this!

I knew that
You are lovely is my hunch
I was just in Dallas....me and my Wifey constantly commented on hot Mexican gals
Much much more than here in middle TN
Prolly a class thing
Higher class women period tend to be thinner
Peer pressure
I was married to a thin latina once for disclosure
When I was a kid we ate ‘free range’ chickens. It does taste a whole lot better!....................
Thanks Red Badger.
