Of "mice and men" the future is still not now but sooner and closer than we thought. The same people who brought us the theory that there exists a new kind of fat in mice have found a "brown fat" in adult humans. This brown fat is a self reducing variety that shakes itself smaller. This shiver function that automatically makes itself smaller could be the future for the lazy among us. This type of fat can be injected within the body and the body will automatically make itself thinner, shades of Stephen King! It's no where near ready but it is a possible solution to the problems of obesity in children and adults for the future. All is not lost and type 2 diabetes for tomorrow offers us the hope that the present research did not. We do have a problem now and the solutions don't seem immenent nor too far off. There is hope. Nature magazine shows the technical specs which though confusing to us thankfully everyone else can explain it better. This is one example where the reporters get it right.
