...that can be "slathered" in public? Suntan lotion. And What Should be you number one Item on the packing last for Bora Bora? Suntan Lotion. Nothing says "day at the beach" like a pair of greasy hands and the overpowering scent of coconut. And that's just on the fat guy who wants you to "do his back." But for those of us allergic to skin cancer, perhaps sunscreen is a better choice. Like Mom always used to say--back when Mom was an ad exec for Coppertone--"Block...
Merizzi claims that estrogen causes cellulite by trapping fat underneath the skin. Cellasene supposedly boosts metabolism and circulation, thereby unlocking the trapped fat. Wrong, says Dr. Michael Rosenbaum, an obesity expert at Columbia University who co-authored an authoritative study of the anatomy of cellulite that was published last June in a peer-reviewed journal. There is no difference in blood flow in tissue with cellulite and tissue without it. And if estrogen caused cellulite, Rosenbaum notes, it would disappear at menopause...
...connective tissue that separates a woman's muscles from her skin is shaped like a honeycomb and allows even small amounts of fat to dimple out, whether she's fat or thin.

His vengeful father, long split, teaches him philosophy: get even. Somehow he learns to play the trumpet well enough to join a neighborhood Mexican band. He grows six inches in a summer and stops being fat. He takes...
PASS THE BUTTER? Eating lots of dietary fat, while unhealthy for the heart, probably won't increase a woman's risk of breast cancer. The purported link between fat intake and breast cancer has been controversial for years. But last week a new study on 90,000 women concluded that even long-term indulgence in fatty foods will not harm the breast. All types of fat, including saturated, are off the hook...
