Freezing Fat to Death

Harvard researchers found kids who sucked on popsickles lost facial fat. Plastic surgeons reasoned if they could manipulate temperature and have people lose fat in other places. And they have been successful.

The procedure uses extreme cold to kill fat white cells while energizing brown fat (fat that helps burn calories). Overtime the fat white cells enters the stage of apoptosis - cell suicide.

"Low Fat" Not So Healthy

Research shows that we eat more food if it's labeled "low fat". One study revealed that subjects took 1/3rd more from a candy dish labeled "low fat" than otherwise.

Researchers think people don't realize that "lower fat" doesn't mean "lower calories."
