it has to do with the polarity of the water molecule.
Water is polar, so it dissolves polar substances.
Fats are non-polar (hydrophobic), so they can only mix with non-polar substances.
As far as losing adipose cells, you can't actually ever lose the cells. If your body expends more energy than you intake, bonds in fat molecules are broken to provide energy for your body, and adipose cells shrink (but never disappear).

Fat soluble means that something can be dissolved in fat just like water soluble means something can be dissolved in water. For instance, if you add sugar to a glass of water and stir it the sugar particles seem to disappear. That means that sugar (table sugar) is water soluble. In order to lose adipose tissue you would have to take on a healthy diet with plenty of exercise. Adipose(fat) is simply stored energy that you didn't "burn-off". Burning-off more calories than you take in will cause your body to have to use that stored energy.

Water cuts water. Oil cuts oil. For example, when you take off your makeup at night, use a good oil because oil cuts oil. To reduce adipose tissue in the human body, it is simple. Eat right, work out and avoid high fat diet. Consult a doc, too.

fat soluble means: things that dissolve in it,water soluble means: things that dissolve in water.
to lose adipose tissue: drink pinapple juice or grape fruit juice in the morning with breakfast, then walk for half an hour, its realy works.

You cannot lose adipose cells unless you physically remove them. Once created, they are here to stay. You can only reduce their size.
