The more they learn the more they don’t know. “Experts” are all over the place on this stuff.
Nature has a way sometimes of compensating for its own problems.
What we look at today and say “eww, gross health problem” could be how nature was primed to deal with situations of glut and famine. Being way too fat is another way of being famine-ready.
BMI is a crock statistic.

Hmmm. My great grandmother died of a stroke at 53. She was slim. My grandmother survived a heart attack around the same age, not so slim. My mother barely survived a massive heart attack at 51, she was in between their sizes. I’m 41 and getting nervous. I’m also slimmer than any of them. What I don’t do, however, is follow any of the modern nutritional guidelines. I eat plenty of fat, though little from corn or soy. Butter, olive and coconut oil. We drink whole milk and little processed food.
I’ve heard cholesterol is what your body uses to try to heal hardened arteries. Maybe it’s not the fat cells in heavy people that offer recovery but the fact that they eat more cholesterol?
