In a "quite remarkable" new study, researchers from Monash University have found a "switch" that tells the body to either burn or store fat after we have eaten.
Researchers have known for some time that there are two types of fat: white fat, which stores energy, and mitochondria-packed brown fat, which burns energy. It is also known that white fat can convert to a brown-like state and adults with more brown fat are typically leaner.
