Wow, talk about your cause and effect disconnect.

How ones bodies store fat is largely genetic.. some folks in their backsides, and legs, others in their bellies.. to conclude that finding folks who don’t have guts, but have fat thighs and butts and are less prone to certain diseases than others, does mean you can redirect a body that tends to store fat at the gut, to store it in the backside and then that person will see the same health benefits noticed in those who do that naturally.

What idiots they have writing articles today, the more appropriate conclusion would be, finding what about someones genetic makeup that causes them to store fat in the butt rather than the gut may help researchers discover what else about those genetic traits gives them the added health benefits and be able to utilize that to help others at risk. But simply stating moving someones fat to their butt from their gut will defacto give them protection is idiotic, and wholey rediculous.

That’s not a conclusion you can draw from this study at all.

Excellent observations. I think people are just having a little fun with an absurd article, though.

On the other hand, I’m feeling a little smug, since I could weigh 10 pounds, and 8 of it still would follow me out of the room, lol.
