The more they learn the more they don’t know. “Experts” are all over the place on this stuff.
Woo-hoo!
I’ll live forever.
And of COURSE they still are doing the BMI crap, which has often been shown to be WRONG and not healthy for people that actually have MUSCLE mass. And gets very wrong for taller people as well. Foolish doctors keep thinking they are God.
So to sum up - being a lard@ass will definitely cause many more heart-attacks, but because you are a lard@ss, you may actually have a better chance of surviving those heart attacks.
makes perfect sense....

Apparently young, fit folks who suffer a heart attack are more likely to doe from it than an older person. Apparently if one is young and fit, the heart pumps faster where with an older person things seep slowly.
Probably an obese person’s heart would be acting like an older heart and not pump fast and cause death.
I think the move to define obesity so widely (:)) is part of the “anti-people”, GAIA, humanist movement. We don’t want people enjoying themselves, taking up more than their share, etc. Nasty humans!
I suspect that a few “extra” pounds are normal, and there have been a number of studies lately that tend to back that up.
We can’t do anything about societal preferences, and right now, skinny is attractive. It may not be as healthy, but it’s what in style.
