Researchers at the School of Applied Science, S. Bank U., in London*, were curious about a widely advertised treatment for cellulite, the accumulation of visible fat around hips and stomach. The product is called Cellasene, found to contain Gingko bilboa, sweet clover, seaweed, grape seed oil, lecithins and evening primrose oil. They noted that it has been promoted "...as a miracle cure for cellulite."

They ran tests of persons who tried it, and others who did not (placebo group.) What they found that of the 11 women taking Cellasene, 7 gained weight, as did 8 in the placebo group. They observed no discernable benefit to the Cellasene group, noting that the cellulite increased (emphasis added) in these women.

So what now for the overweight? We have been scanning the scientific literature and will report back if something pops up.
