I really don't want to believe it, and I completely hope it's FALSE, because I'm a regular user of body lotion and I don't want that to sabotage my weight loss progress! What do you think? Are these articles to be believed? Some of them even stated that 'plastic water bottles' cause weight gain because of BPA. Sounds ridiculous too, but who knows. What's your take on it?
Not sure if links are allowed here, if not, please let me know and I will remove it immediately. But, here is an example of a site that says it. http://bodyunburdened.com/is-your-body-lotion-making-you-fat/
For goodness sake, you go to the website and the first thing you see is her free guide to detoxing. I'm sure somewhere in that free guide and at her website are offers you need to pay for.
As for lotion making you gain weight--only if it has calories and you eat it.
Unless you have a medical condition that need immediate attention, the only thing that causes weight gain is eating a surplus of food.2 -

So.. lots of people are against them..also i think some say they cause cancer. Lots of arguments against the claim.. some for it... parabens are in a majority of cosmetics and creams.
Nah....websites, such as that in the OP, are all about self promotion.
Everything causes cancer at one time or another, until the powers-to-be decide they don't.1 -
It's the chemikalz. They're all out to make us fat.6

Don't forget the Aspartame - totally causes weight gain!3 -

I don't get why they don't just start eating after 6pm. That makes you not lose weight, right??6 -

Obviously a stupid article filled with broscience and propaganda, but there is something I've wondered, if you use coconut oil for moisturizer, is there any way any of this gets absorbed into the body and digested? Probably a really dumb question..0

Yes.. I have been getting fat from this and cocoa butter since I was teen..

No. You can absorb sugars through mucous membranes (such as the inside of your mouth) but not through your skin, and fats can't even be absorbed from there, they need to reach the stomach to get into the bloodstream.1

Well if you eat so much body lotion that you go over maintenance, then I guess...4

Drs. Oz and Mercola should lose their medical licenses for the quackery they promote. Obesogens, my *kitten*.4

Aspartame in lotion applied after 6.

Yep. When people look to him on authority and proof of an issue, then you know it's pretty stupid stuff.I stopped reading at Dr. Oz. It's false. He features crap like that and then gets kickbacks from companies that sell magical products that were featured on his shows. A study of his shows has shown that less than half of his information is true and he has openly admitted to sharing things he knows are not supported by science.

Come on, guys.....you are forgetting that diet coke also causes weight gain. So does stevia, splenda, and, believe it or not, water. Carbonated water especially.1
