found that a specific plant oil, known as sterculic oil, may be a key in the fight against obesity.

Old fashion, but it does reduce fat.

From Wikipedia:

“The scientific name is taken from Sterculius of Roman mythology, who was the god of manure; this is in reference to the unpleasant aroma of the flowers of this genus.”

Belly fat, clinically known as intra-abdominal fat,

I always thought belly fat was subcutaneous, which is relatively harmless, and that the bad fat between the organs was called visceral.

With a name like Bastard Poon Tree Oil, it's got to be good!

Wikipedia lists "Bastard Poon tree" as an alternative name for Sterculia foetida.

I’ve got a great method to reduce belly fat and it doesn’t take an expensive study. My method is called the “don’t eat a whole *expletive deleted* bag of potato chips in one sitting” method. If more americans tried it we wouldn’t need to spend so much money researching weight loss.

Apply to belly and buff for attractive shine.
