From Heartwire:
August 23, 2006 - Two studies appearing in the August 22 Early Release
and August 24 print issue of The New England Journal of Medicine suggest
that even small increases in body mass index (BMI) can increase risk for
mortality.
Therefore as the nation becomes heavier, the life expectancy is
declining. It isn't? Must be something wrong. It has GOT to decrease.
Sorry. It didn't happen. Nothing like the real FActs to upset Skeptic.
I posted a study to show obesity is shortening lives. Get a clue.
