As the light passes through the flesh, fat absorbs specific wavelengths; light emitted through the skin is then picked up by a detector. The computer translates the information into percent body fat. Cost of the device: around...

After three days of shouting over an uninterrupted commercial, ABC's Al Michaels, Tim McCarver and Jim Palmer must have been glad to get back to the relative quiet of the Hubert H.
