Default Re: DIET: Thin people may be fat inside

That is the problem with a lot of these studies. "Increases risk of this ... or that ..." sometimes the increase is so small (like increasing odds from 1 per 100.000 to 1 per 75.000), that they are no real reason for concern.

Even if you are overweight, that does not automatically mean you have a lot of fat around your vital organs. Body weight is more complex than just the amount of food you eat / amount of fats you eat.

As always the classical advice, to watch what you eat is best.
