  Good scientists don't body shame, and good publication venues don't publish body shaming.

    1. Isn't the result based on perception of size, with randomized groups? 2. Saying "X people feel shamed so they buy Y" is not itself body shaming. 3. By "good" do you mean "competent"? If so citation needed that scientists that body shame are incompetent or fraudulent. Jeez, when you called them "frauds" and this a "pseudoscience website" I thought you were attacking the methodology or knew something about the scientists or site!

    "Cruel" (which body shaming arguably is), while widely considered to be unethical, does not equate to "fraud" or automatically invalidates the research. While the Milgram experiment is considered to be unethical, the results do hold scrutiny and as such has been critical in understanding how humans follow authority and obedience. There are many things that we take for granted that was a result of unethical research.
