The study followed 11,326 adults in Canada for 12 years. Compared to normal-weight people, those who were underweight were 70 percent more likely to die and those who were extremely obese were 36 percent more likely to die, the researchers found.

The information contained within that article sucks. For all it says, since it only looked at mortality and not lifestyle, the skinny people could've been AIDS infested crack whores. Always skinny.

[jlane]

Always skinny.

we got a dead man walking here. I actually enjoy articles like this that are counter-intuitive or run opposite of current beliefs in regards health related information. Read another article the other day that had a study that show anti-oxidants are terrible for people have diabetes or borderline diabetics.

Shut it fattie.

Canadia is cold, extra pounds help keep you warm and survive longer. duh.

also, using the BMI as the sole scale for determining a healthy weight is stupid.

Shut it fattie.

The only thing this "normal-weighter" is shutting is the lid to your undersized coffin.

I'm fairly certain everyone dies about the same.


But at least the skinny ones die with some dignity.

I know one thing - I won't be buried in a piano box with a forklift for a pall bearer.

How can you die the most? Everyone fuckign dies.

[stonefiend]

yea. that's what i was about to say. alive stuff dies mang. I gained some weight cuz i haven't done shit to keep in shape (it's hard when you can't walk).. so that means i'm gonna live longer?

[Bug]

People cling too tightly to life who have never really lived. Those who have lived life fully wear their lives lightly.

Is this how you justify being 'light in the loafers' ?!?!

[elblat]

I'd rather live on my feet than die on my knees
