New study says moderately fat people live longer

[ramesh]

The new study found that people who are a little overweight have a - get this - lower risk of death than those of normal weight. No doubt that news will get a toast or two at the corner bar or bring a clink of coffee cups at the pie counter in coffee shops around the country.

Last year the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta issued a report saying that obesity was responsible for the deaths of 400,000 Americans each year (a figure that was later changed to 320,000 deaths). http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2005/04/21/opinion/iq_3491639.txt

Man I wish these scientists would make up their minds. The next thing they will be saying is that water is detrimental to your health, and we should all drink lots of rum to live longer instead. :eusa_wall It sounds like no matter what we eat we will end up at the undertakers. In that case I prefer to go sucking on some moist juicy babrbecue ribs with plenty of sauce. Now thats a good way to end it all :icon_lol:

The only thing that is true is that there must be balance in all things.

Too much Oxygen can actually kill you.
Too much Carbon Dioxide can kill you.

Too little Carbon Dioxide can also kill you as it stimilates your heart.
Too little Oxygen.... welll thats obvious.

The same applies for water and food.

Too much... death... too little death

It is all zen
