Study points to calorie-burning fat Apr 8, 2009 WASHINGTON (AFP) — Calorie-burning fat may seem like science fiction, but a study released found that adults have small blobs of metabolism-regulating brown fat previously believed to exist only in babies and children. This “good” fat, researchers said, unlike white fat that makes up most body fat, is active in burning calories and using energy. The study, published in Thursday’s issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, showed that brown fat subsisted in adult humans and demonstrated, for the first time, that it is metabolically active. “The fact that there is active brown fat in adult humans means this is now a new and important target for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes,” said the study’s senior author C.
