'Fat and fit live as long as slim'
People who are fat and fit live just as long as their slim counterparts and are less likely to die from heart disease, according to a new study

Re: 'Fat and fit live as long as slim'
Oh, dear, another axe-to-grind study. My first question on hearing this is: what physical shape is Dr. Jennifer Kuk in? I'm betting she's no supermodel.

Re: 'Fat and fit live as long as slim'
Even the same researcher. If she was worth her salt, she'd be saying to herself: "Eh?" Two studies coming up with diametrically opposed results? Well, they can't both be right.
Idiots. You can prove any damn thing you want if you cherry-pick your assumptions. Real science involves making no assumptions, no preconceptions.

Re: 'Fat and fit live as long as slim'
Most of the studies in today's world are just using science for more profit. Proving things for big companies that are financing that particular study.

Re: 'Fat and fit live as long as slim'
Size of the body doesn't determine health of a person. Health's probably more dependent on eating habits and lifestyle.
