Older adults with normal BMIs (well-known to be an imperfect measurement) but high levels of body fat are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease and death than previously realized, according to a 2013 study published in the American Journal of Cardiology. More recently, a 2014 report on people with “normal weight obesity”—normal BMI, high body fat—found that they have a significantly higher risk of metabolic problems and death from these diseases than any other group.
I found this part interesting too
When Elizabeth Chanatry was 16 years old, she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. You’d never know it by looking at the 5-foot-3-inch tall, 117-pound 19-year-old, but even Chanatry admits that she’s not as fit as she could be. “My sister and I are not toned, but we are thin,” she says.

I guess just being thin isn't good enough.[/b]
This is old news. The visceral fat is the really dangerous kind.
Originally posted by C Hess You're right. That was rude of me. My apologies. I should have said, medical science have
known this about visceral fat for some time now.
Yeah, well I guess some people just don't like to look at certain aspects of science. They like looking like they are in shape, but would rather overlook the fact that scrawny runts can still easily develop unseen unhealthful fat.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but didn't I read you denying global warming in some other
thread? I may have gotten you mixed up with someone else though.

Fitness is also important, I think nearly everyone should know that by know. I have seen it many times in many sources. Fitness probably has a lot of other benefits apart from reducing body fat.
I don't think much though of you citing an example as evidence for a link between body fat and diabetes 2. In science, we prefer large sample sizes and statistics. In general a single example is useless scientifically as it could simply be an anomaly.

The only things I have noticed that he is consistent with is just with two things: being inconsistent; being usually quite wrong.

Yeah, people ignore certain aspects of global warming too. It amazes me how people with a certain religious bent like to misuse science to achieve their goals.
Are you once more looking for excuses to being a big fatty?
Wow! Is that what you read? Where did I ever say that?
I take it you aren't too bright either. Of course you might be bright, but simply immature. If you are 12, that would explain your response. Same thing goes for humy.

Liberal is a religious stance? You make less sense to me with every post you
write. Do you even understand yourself what you're writing, or are you just
hitting the keyboard at random, hoping for success? 🙄
