Fat Women Not As Smart, Swedish Doctors Claim

Women who are obese have less chance of being brainy, doctors claimed yesterday. Medics have found that too much fat can cause loss of brain tissue.

The damage is to areas known as the temporal lobes, which control memory, speech and hearing. And the risk increases by 16 percent with every kilogram of excess weight.

Obesity could even trigger dimentia in older women, researchers discovered in a 24 year old study of Sweden.

Team leader Dr. Deborah Gustafson said: 'Fat is a risk for women. Other studies have reported similar things.'

More than a third of people are overweight. Researchers say obesity creates an excess of the hormone cortisol, which can cause tissue loss.

It is already recognized as a factor in heart disease, strokes and cancer.

Settling in with popcorn...

[goldstategop]

That's why super-models are sooo fascinating to hang around. :)

[xcullen]

They are also not as skinny.

[WhiteGuy]

Anna Nichole Smith lost 60 pounds and is still as smart as a bag of hammers.

Explain that one.

[miltonim]

Ditto

[goldstategop]

And not as hot. No wonder Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson have a cult following in their Simple Life road series... ;-)

After seeing the Swedish womens ski team, I would think being female and living large in Sweden would be a difficult life.

What's that I hear in the distance?

Could it be the sound of fat women racing to this thread to complain?

[TaxRelief]

But fat women are less likely to have husband's that stray...

[gopwinsin04]

Does the Trim Spa kill the brain cells as well?

[TaxRelief]

Watch it, Buddy. LOL!

[webheart]

This article must have been written by a very fat woman, because there is no such word as dimentia. What she must be referring to is dementia. </sarcasm>

[zygoat]

But they make great opera singers.

Nope, Now I have an excuse for when I lock my keys in my car.

Well, Anna had her brains relocated..yes, divided in two parts, then implanted...I think that explains the medical side of it....(chuckle)

LOL! Isn't that why they make OnStar?

Hey, I saw your photo from the link on your page... you don't look fat to me!

Hmmmmm............

not sure, Anna was a moron when she was fat too.

[atomicpossum]

I hear medical researchers that do these kind of studies get sex less often and are lousy lovers.

[Constitution Day]

I have no idea what the meaning of that photo is, sorry.

[Trampled by Lambs]

As opposed to fat guys which are ultra intelligent?

[WhiteGuy]

Good observation. I'm in favor of this procedure.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Fat women are heavier too!

[gopwinsin04]

Bridget Jones..a slightly overweight Renee Zellwegger

[Constitution Day]

Ahh, that explains it.

Chick flick that I didn't see.

[Diogenesis]

Interesting point, WhiteGuy, BUT perhaps there was
improvement. Previously, half a bag of hammers?

[Pure Country]

Uh, I don't know about this article. From what I have observed, Fat Ladies always have the last say. 'It's never over till the fat lady sings."

[WhiteGuy]

I can compromise...............

I'd also like to be on record as saying that Anna Nichole is completely hot! regardless of her I.Q.

[rcocean]

What about fat men?

You're here at FR and you aren't a DU troll lurker. That alone qualifies you as clever!
