Adult humans (at least the vast majority) do not have brown adipose tissue. So what is it that the thermogenics are actually doing? Harperska 21:58, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Aren't thermogenics supplements that supposedly increase metabolism and burn body fat. I don't know anything about brown adipose tissue vs white, but I have heard claims made by manufacturers about ingredients like ephedra. Maybe the article shoudl focus on those claims. Brad T.

why is there a random uncited comment about the ancient vikings and thermogenics? I highly doubt they used it as a thermogenic, if anything it was probably some test of manliness or a pres-sauna treatment like they do in the nordic countries now by jumping into freezing bodies of water before going into the sauna...moomoo2u —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.227.183 (talk) 06:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
