Lingerie Causes Fat Loss
See more » Fashion See more » Retro and Oddball
An amusing instance of lingerie pseudoscience:
The fabric contains crystals which warm up on contact with skin, giving new meaning to the term hot pants.
The heat boosts the circulation in the wearer’s thighs and bottom, stimulating fat cells to “melt” into a liquid, which is then broken down by the liver.

The report cites a test population of fifty: far too small to be meaningful. Besides this use of heat was debunked decades ago.
