How to fight cellulite
ATLANTA -- Nearly every woman has some form of cellulite. Many men have it too in the breast and abdominal area, but now there are two new ways to help fight it. People in general know cellulite well -- the dreaded loose and lumpy fat that collects on legs and other places. "It can be made to look smaller with weight loss, but it's still there," said Dr. Christine Glavey. So what works? One new technology is called velasmooth. "It lights up. It heats up, and it tightens things as well as suctioning and rolling manipulation," said Kristi Brewer, a laser specialist at Face and Body Works in Atlanta, Georgia. .

Kruszelnicki has moved on from navel fuzz to focus on common scientific myths. In his new book, "Great Myth-Conceptions: The Science Behind the Myths," he tackles everything from camel humps to cave men. Cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis, right? A toilet is dirtier than a desk, right? We focus on Dr. Karl's health "myth-conceptions."
