Fat vibrations

Science News,  Dec 1, 2007  by Ted Blinder

It would be interesting to some way check fat versus muscle cells in airline pilots and crew; ship crews; anyone who rides the subways to work or the passengers and crew of any commuter train; taxicab drivers; or any construction worker who drives a vehicle or handles a vibrating piece of equipment, and then compare the findings with an equal sampling of sedentary subjects ("Good Buzz" SN: 10/27/07, p. 260). Even if that could not be done and we relied only on visual evidence, I think the results would show that living alife with more than 15 minutes of vibration a day has no effect on the problem of obesity.
