no - he's absolutely correct. this was discovered earlier this year, IIRC.

This suggests that liposuction is actually an important step if you want to keep fat off.

not necessarily. if the body can somehow keep count, it may just replace the cells you remove. I'm not sure we know for certain either way yet.

My guess would be that that won't happen any more than limbs get regrown. Of course, my guess is pretty worthless. :)
