A new study at The University of Nottingham has discovered that lower temperatures can activate the body’s ‘good’ fat formation at a cellular level. The research focused on how the body decides whether to form ‘good’ brown adipose tissue (BAT), which produces heat by burning fat, sugar excess calories and regulate blood sugar, or white adipose tissue, the ‘bad’ type of fat which stores energy and accumulates, causing weight gain.

Brown fat is found most in babies and hibernating animals. Scientists have discovered that a small amount of brown fat is found in adults, and that the body retains the ability to form more under certain conditions.

Exposure to lower temperatures can promote the formation of brown fat but the mechanism of this has not been discovered. Human cells are not pre-programmed to form bad fat the stem cells can change to different lifestyle changes.
