It's true, it's a fairly rare tissue type in temperate climates, babies are born with a fair amount of it but usually lose it quite quickly as they never need it.

Again, you grow it back just by being cold, when someone says they don't feel the cold, they probably just have more of that than average.

Beige fat is kinda the middle ground, having it isn't perfect, but it's better than yellow fat. They're both referred to as cellulite so it's brown cellulite and yellow/white cellulite (depending on convention, both mean the same but yellow is used more).

Thank you very much for such an informative answer. This is pretty fascinating to learn. I even have a bit of a medical background (sort of... I mean I went to school as a Nursing Unit Clerk in Canada, which requires a 9 month course that goes over the human body and medical procedures, definitely not as difficult as most jobs in the medical field) and I still had never heard of it. TIL!
