It is far too early to say one way or the next and I certainly cannot say I have studied it to any extensive degree as I think no one has.
But, things that increase brown fat or shift preferential offering of adipose type WAT --> BAT would certainly be entertaining; but there are many things that have promised this over the years and have subsequently fallen short, so I will remain a skeptic until I can see replicated data from a different lab (I think the media coverage of the topic is very premature despite its appearance in the scientific literature).
