AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a claim that a rare plant extract can help individuals lose up to one inch of belly fat per week. This assertion is backed by recent clinical research, which highlights the extract's potential health benefits. However, skepticism arises as participants question the validity of these claims, pointing out that the scientific literature on the extract, specifically carthamus tinctorius, does not support the advertised effects. One cited study raises concerns about the safety of the extract, indicating potential teratogenic and cytotoxic effects. Additionally, participants note that targeting belly fat specifically is a myth; overall weight loss is necessary, influenced by genetics and body fat percentage. The conversation reflects a critical examination of health claims and the importance of evidence-based research.

Sounds to good to be true.

Dear Belly Fat Sufferer,

How would you like to melt away as much as 1 inch of stubborn belly fat every 7 days?

Yes, that's right. Burn off 1 full inch of good-for-nothing belly fat every single week.

Sound too good to be true? Well, hard as it may be to believe, it absolutely is true. And we'd like to prove it to you at our risk, not yours.

Here's the deal. New clinical research, published in the world's leading academic journals, is now showing that an extraordinarily rare plant extract first discovered by the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago may carry remarkable slimming and health benefits - so much so that one scientist from the University of Missouri has recently called it, "Mother Nature's natural treatment for abdominal fat."

Is the "rare plant" called crystal meth?
 
At least 37 clinical studies published within the last several months alone show this plant's active ingredient (carthamus tinctorius extract) helps dissolve belly fat, increase metabolism, boost energy, and even clarify skin, giving your face a clear, healthy glow.
Funny, out of the ONLY 26 publications on that extract indexed in Pub Med, not one of them addresses any of that list of claims.

But, this is the abstract of one of them:
: J Ethnopharmacol. 2000 Dec;73(3):453-9.
A study on the teratogenic and cytotoxic effects of safflower extract.
Nobakht M, Fattahi M, Hoormand M, Milanian I, Rahbar N, Mahmoudian M.

Department of Histology, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

In recent years, the use of carthami flos (the flowers of Carthamus tinctorius L.) as a coloring and flavoring agent has increased as a food additive in Iran. In order to evaluate its safety, the teratogenic effects of carthami flos on the central nervous system development in mice was investigated. Furthermore, its cytotoxic effect on the rat nervous cell culture was studied to complete safety evaluations. For teratogenic studies, after natural mating, pregnant mice were divided into test and control groups. The groups were treated with different dosage regimens of aqueous carthami flos extract during 0-8 days of gestation. Embryos were then isolated at the 13th gestation day and evaluated for macroscopic, microscopic and morphometric characteristics. The results showed that in higher doses (1.6 and 2 mg/kg/day) the embryos were absorbed, whereas with lower dose (1.2 mg/kg/day) changes in external, internal and longitudinal diameters, open neuropore, changes in cellular orientation and cellular degeneration were observed. The results obtained from cytotoxic assay also demonstrated a concentration-dependent cytotoxic effect of carthami flos extract. It is concluded that the use of carthami flos as a food additive should be reconsidered.

It's a myth that you can even "target" belly fat. You have to lose weight overall, and the amount of fat stored in your midsection is defined by your genes and overall body fat percentage.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
