The manufacturer also conducted studies that showed that if you drink Celsius 15 minutes prior to exercising, your body is more apt to burn fat for fuel, increasing your calorie burn.

When Celsius was first introduced in 2009, ABC News did a feature on the drink investigating whether it really lived up to its claims. "The drink does not appear to change basal metabolic rate over time, although it may 'rev' up metabolism briefly," Dr. David Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine, told ABC News. "The primary effect appears to be an increase in heat generation, or thermogenesis. This is plausible." What remains to be seen: If Pepsi Special can live up to its fat-blocking promises.
