Long-winded reference to the water displacement method.

I was gonna say this. They offer displacement body mass testing in some holistic medical practices. I’ve had my BMI testing by DEXA, water displacement, and caliper test, and the results were wildly different from the BS BMI metric. Sadly, our medical system is captured by pharma and insurance companies, so doctors can only report BMI despite numbers substantially lower from more accurate tests.
