    Malnutrition (fasting) or protein deficiency sufficient to cause diabetes

    Yet another study that should give a pause to all health care providers who push their patients to lose weight at any cost - i.e. "lower is always better", when it comes to BMI, as the dogma goes. Well, apparently not, according to the study below. The even more astounding fact is that it looks...

    Another Obesity Paradox - Higher BMI Linked To Lower Breast Cancer Risk

    I am sure this study will generate a lot of controversy, but the reductions in risk are pretty significant and hard to argue with. The fact that there was no threshold at which BMI started being protective suggests that the protective effect is indeed drive by increased mass. The study only...

    Being fat in middle age protects against dementia and AD

    Another study that matches Ray's statements that it is less harmful to be overweight (and even obese) than to be in the "healthy" spectrum of the BMI that is currently being promoted as the main prevention for all diseases. One feature of obese and overweight people is that they retain much more...

    Vegetarian Diet Appears To Be Highly Detrimental To Health

    You can imagine the furor this news is generating around the various Vegan and Paleo circles on the Internet. But the conclusions are rather strong and statistically significant, even though this was an epidemiological study. What can I say, animal products rule...
