I think htere were a bunch of articles in the popular media about it. At least, I noticed some on yahoo news and sites like that. But not much in the scientific press. Odd huh... I think C'elle, like any business has discovered a way to make us feel like we can save ourselves in some way. For a low low fee of $500! Minimal in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, I am a cynic.

The notable lack of that makes me think C'elle is wildly overstating their capabilities. (I am not a biologist, though, so maybe there is some obscure research out there which supports their claims...)
