There was some drug that came out 10 years ago that claimed to turn regular fat into brown fat which your body could burn for heat.

Avandia was thought to but results were mixed. Roscovitine (seliciclib) is an experimental chemotherapy drug that has shown a variety of interesting side effects including treating HIV and other viruses, as well as converting white fat to beige fat. Brown fat is distinct from white->beige fat.

"this good, that bad!"

ehhhhhh wrong,

everything in your body has a purpose and use.

for example, the white fat is the fuel source for the brown fat.

The important part for retards, including OP.

Brown fat burns calories when activated by cool temperatures to generate body heat.

It is typically found in the neck and upper back as well as around the kidneys and spinal cord.

Humans lose most brown fat after they pass infancy, but it can be generated through exercise, sleeping well and frequently exposing yourself to the cold.

Brown fat is very different from white fat, or white adipose tissue, which is the type of fat most people are aware of.

It stores energy in large fat pockets around the body and produces hormones that are secreted into the bloodstream.

On the upside, fat retards like OP are pure white.

Ironically, tropical creatures like the nigger are unlikely to have any brown fat.
