With Alexander Bartelt we take our fat off! Would you have thought that not only do we have white but also brown fat cells in our body, which can even help us lose weight because they simply convert calories into heat?
The aim of his research is to understand the molecular basis of obesity, diabetes and atherosclerosis. He was able to prove that the activation of brown adipose tissue can significantly reduce harmful blood lipids and sugar. He, the "Fettversteher"(also the title of his current book), explains what we should know about fat on the Red Sofa.
