Does Milk Cause Cellulite?

The disagreement over what name to apply to this condition is also reflected in differences of opinion on its diagnosis and suggested treatments. On the one hand the medical profession believes that exercise and good diet are the best methods for attacking cellulite since they view it as primarily a weight problem, but alternative medicine links cellulite to a build up of body toxins and therefore the treatment must involve a detoxification process.
