Do Overweight People Outlive Skinny Folks?

For some reason, this post cracked me up. It's about how a recent study that said that people who are little overweight tend to live longer than people who are underweight or normal weight. The flaw in the research? It's a doozy...

"...the study's main flaw is that it included people with health problems ranging from cancer to heart disease, who tend to weigh less because of those problems and therefore make pudgy people look healthy by comparison." Seattle Times, June 3rd

One of the fun things about Blogger is clicking to other blogs by just going to the upper right hand corner and hitting "Next Blog." Most of the sites are either horrible sites designed to get ad revenue or they're written in a foreign (to me) language. But every once in awhile, you uncover some gems. Give it a shot. It's sort of like Russian Roulette without the gun... or bullets... or shot through the brain.
