At 11:40 on June 30th, I read an article from another forum and transcribed it for you in the hope it can help you:

Attention for those who are ready to buy: "Dump "Fat machine" to get rid of fat or something else?

Fat-removing machines have become popular in the market, but experts warn that the effect is uncertain and you need to be careful about physical damage

Violent vibrations, crazy fat-removing, you only need to stand on it for 5 to 10 minutes every day , can achieve the effects of weight loss and fitness. In recent times, advertisements for this kind of "fat-removing machine" have been overwhelming. The high price of 1,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan has not stopped the beauty-loving girls from flocking to them. Does this thing have any weight loss effect? Can the internal organs withstand such a violent shock? The reporter conducted some inquiries.

Ad: Shaking wildly, a piece of fat oozes oil

The TV commercial claims that as long as you step on the "crazy fat-removing machine", the machine will vibrate violently, which can remove fat all over the body. Get moving. In order to demonstrate the effect, some advertisements also put a piece of fat on the fat removal machine. After a while, the fat slowly melted and some yellow oil seeped out.

The advertisement claims, "You only need to use it for 5-10 minutes a day, which is equivalent to the calories burned by jogging for an hour, and it is equivalent to burning calories 30 times faster than running. If you insist on using it for a month, you can lose weight." "Remove 5-10 kg of body weight"...

Market: There are many buyers, some are sweating and some have stomachaches

It is understood that there are various brands of "crazy fat-removing machines" currently on the market. There are no less than a dozen types, with prices ranging from 1,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. Fat removal machines are not only popular in major fitness equipment stores and TV shopping, but are also popular on online mail orders. The reporter searched for "fat removal machine" on Google and found more than 300,000 entries.

The day before yesterday, the reporter specially went to a well-known fitness equipment store in Tianhe District to "experience" the "fat-removing machine". After about four minutes of violent jolts, the reporter's legs and waist really started to sweat, but soon he began to feel a faint discomfort in his stomach. A young salesman explained: "You will get used to it after you do it a few times." However, he said frankly that he himself couldn't stand it.

Mr. Liu, a reader from Guangzhou, called and said that he bought a fat-removing machine and has been using it for half a month. Although he sweats a lot every time, his weight has not changed for the time being, and he has finished using it every time. Afterwards, I felt very uncomfortable in my stomach and a little nauseous.

Hazards: Strong vibration may cause a variety of injuries

Director Zhang Weisen of the Occupational Disease Hazard Evaluation Department of Guangzhou No. 12 Hospital said in an interview that the fat removal machine has only been around for a short time. Whether it will cause physical damage to people requires long-term tracking of users and rigorous scientific experiments before drawing a conclusion.

Another medical source who did not want to be named said that long-term strong vibration can cause an occupational disease called "vibration disease", which is common among operators of pneumatic tools and electric tools. Relevant medical data show that severe whole-body vibration can cause displacement of internal organs and even cause mechanical damage; it can also inhibit the body's gastrointestinal motility and gastric acid secretion, causing gastrointestinal symptoms such as upper abdominal fullness and distension and pain, and a high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases; For example, exposure to whole-body vibration in a sitting position can also lead to spinal muscle strain, vertebral degeneration, intervertebral disc herniation, etc. Women exposed to whole-body vibration can experience prolonged menstruation, heavy menstruation, dysmenorrhea, uterine ptosis, miscarriage, and abnormal delivery rates. . Efficacy: lack of evidence, this fat is not that fat. Liang Weiguo, director of the Orthopedics Department of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, is skeptical about the weight loss effect of the fat removal machine. He said that the fat removal machine can separate the glycerin from a piece of "isolated fat", but it cannot be deduced from this that it can help the decomposition and consumption of human body fat. Human body fat is supplied by blood, which is very different from isolated fat. The big difference is that the efficacy theory of the fat removal machine lacks scientific basis.

As an orthopedic professional, Liang Weiguo has seen a demonstration of the fat removal machine and is very worried about the damage it may cause to bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles due to severe vibration. He suggested that the elderly should not use fat removal machines.

Some people pointed out that currently the hospital has not treated cases of human damage caused by fat removal machines, but this does not mean that there will not be cases in the future. He said that at present, there are an endless stream of weight-loss devices with various principles, and businesses are hyping them up in publicity. However, it is difficult for consumers to judge whether these products have the claimed effects and whether they are harmful to the human body. He believes that health-related products should be subject to supervision like drugs and health products, and necessary experiments and demonstrations should be conducted before being introduced to the market to provide consumers with scientific guidance; consumers should not be used as "guinea pigs" as they are now. "Relevant departments only step in to "stop" many products after they are launched on the market and have negative consequences. By then, irreversible damage may have been caused to some consumers.
