funny you should post this...I mentioned earlier in another post that low thyroid activity (which can explain chubbiness) is thought to extend life. Lower one’s metabolism = longer life. Thinner people tend to have high metabolic rates which might equate to shorter life. Animals with high metabolic rates tend to live shorter lives unlike animals with low metabolic rates.

Sort of glad to hear about the low thyroid advantage. I don’t like being a low thyroid, but perhaps I will outlive you all! Ha ha!

I wonder if taking my thyroid supplements negates the benefits. . .
