Several years ago I read that they were going to start conducting experiments on human 'brown fat' -- to see if chilling the small amount of brown fat on the adult human being, which is located around the neck area and highest part of the chest, if it would boost metabolism to the point seen in lab animals.

Do any of you know if there are any results in yet, about this?

I'm not wearing a scarf this week, HOPING to have a little weight loss, without trying, LOL

Does only the neck area have to be chilled, or does the total adult body need to get chilled???

I understand the reason why babies are so nice & cuddly warm is because their fat content is 85% brown fat, unlike adults who maybe have a mere 5 percent.

Brown fat; I wondered what those wattles were around Steve Croft’s neck...
