TOFA: Can it burn fat without making you eat less?
Researchers found that the compound 5-(tetradecyloxy)-2-furoic acid, or TOFA, may reduce body fat in mice without decreasing food intake. The study showed that TOFA increased energy expenditure by up to 18% while preserving lean muscle mass. Further research is needed to determine its effects on humans, as TOFA has not yet been tested in clinical trials.
