take everything you thought you learned about eating right, exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and throw it out the window. shockingly, there was a new study released this week. they didn't follow the new rule laid out in september about only issuing studies that conclusively say...something.
a report published in the journal of the american medical association found that having a few extra pounds (or BBW, if you prefer) might actually be good for you. of course, this flies in the face of everything we've been taught since 1983. The study says that being a overweight did not increase the chances of dying from heart disease or cancer, and a little chub was actually linked to lower alzheimer rates.
of course, this sounded conclusive until experts chimed in with warnings that we shouldn't take it to heart that being flabby is equivalent to being ok. i'm wondering what new drug will follow this study and which pharm company has already developed it. face it, doctors and scientists know nothing about nothing, and each subsequent study continues to contradict the last.
so, there it is, the key to life: do what you want and eat what you want, because even though one day you'll be at "high risk" to die within mere hours, the next day you'll be the model of health.
NOTE: at least this study was conducted on american subjects, seemingly the first ever study to do so.

I think the old saying "Everything in moderation." is the key to living.
God takes us when he wants us. No use fighting it.
