Benefits of Being Overweight

[aspeck]

A new report suggests that being overweight is not as harmful as is commonly believed, and actually confers some surprising benefits.

Being five to ten pounds overweight could protect people from ailments ranging from tuberculosis to Alzheimer's disease, research indicates. Those carrying 15 to 25 extra pounds are better able to recover from adverse conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, and various injuries and infections, states the report.

Thirty to forty pounds of flab could help fend off breast, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer. And an extra fifty pounds on the scale may improve eyesight, reverse baldness, cure the common cold, and reduce global warming.

In general, the report concludes, overweight people are happier, more successful in business, smarter, and friendlier.

The study was funded by a research grant from McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Haagen Dazs, Sara Lee, and Krispy Kreme.

DISCLAIMER: For the sake of JB, everyone PLEASE read the last paragraph again ... if you fail to see that it is a joke, have another KING SIZED Value Meal and read it again.

had me going for a minute there. Oh well.

I just wish it were still possible to get a warm burger at McDonalds. Oh well, they are too scared of another $15,000 lawsuit, so they'll just settle for losing hundreds of millions in sales. That deserves some kind of worst business decision award or something.

Actually there is some truth (just a little) to this.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7561422/

Medical studies end up changing results all the time. Plus the grain of salt of them stating that it leads to "higher risks" instead being actually a cause (too many other individual factors involved).
Note that the CDC heads are going to stay PC about this and keep to the existing path also.
