Your mention of brown fat jogged my memory a bit. The article I read stated that we all have brown fat. And.... it is the important fat that controls the burning of other fats. SO.... I think there should be two colors of fat, white and brown. The brown was stated to have a low and stable mass. It does not grow and increase like the white fat. Still working on memory. Maybe someone will uncover the source for more information on brown fat. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
