your comment..........
"The one thing I'm pushing in my recent posts is to get down to your better weight - your BMI of 25 or less, and zillions of your real and supposed ills will disappear".
Is a sweeping generalization and only partially true. Obesity is a risk factor in many diseases, not least of which are cancer and Diabetes, but I have known of many people throughout my 59 years who were lost to me when of an ideal weight or BMI: my father for one, and my best friend for another. I also had Leukemia when well within my ideal BMI.
The actual correlation between disease/longevity and health, is actually toxemia/nutritional deficiencies and an adulterated processed diet. The SAD confirms this with disease amongst Americans, which is increasing decade after decade.
In over three decades of work, researchers have not clearly supported a direct, positive, and causal relationship between weight and morbidity/mortality..................
