And as I said before, the way these bogus cures are pitched, it surely must be possible - right?
Sorry, don't waste your time or money.
General, overall body fat reduction is the only way, and the last place the lard gathers is usually exactly where you'd most like it gone.
If a scientific study shows evidence of spot reduction, does that mean it's bogus as well?
I'm not sure you understand how to evaluate whether a "scientific study" is valid and supports your extrapolations or not
Hints: sample sizes statistically relevant? methodology and design? Duration? Validity of conclusions? Other possible conclusions? replication? Peer review? Fit with other knowledge? Confounding factors?1 -

So the study lacks more subjects and evidence, what's your point? Not sure if you read these posts completely or just skim over them... The point I was making is that spot reduction can't be labeled as impossible. ONE study (one, yes, albeit it showed evidence) showed that it is theoretically possible to have spot reduction using this cream. Doesn't mean it's proven nor disproven. What it does is add doubt to the commonly held (often without any real evidence behind it) that spot reduction is impossible.
Aahhh theoretical possibilities0
