Now You Can Vibrate Fat Away, Almost

OK, the headline "Now You Can Vibrate Fat Away" isn’t exactly true, unless you happen to be a mouse, but it could be true very soon. National Geographic reports on research conducted at State University of New York at Stony Brook that found that laboratory mice that spent 15 minutes a day on a vibrating platform
developed 28 percent less fat than control mice. The magazine reports that scientists theorize that as the mice developed, the vibrations mimicked
muscle activity and induced their stem cells to develop into bone or
muscle cells rather than fat cells. Read more about fat in National Geographic.
