They have been screaming that Autism was caused by vaccinations for years and that is not true & recently that study was retracted.

Actually, most scientists have rejected those studies from the beginning.

What is an immunation? Do you mean immunization?

Yep, thanks for the correction. I probably turned some chubby women off with that misspelling. :cry:

Again, you're just talking about your own preferences. Why not let others have theirs as well?

Here's the outline of the study. It is certainly not advocating to gain a few pounds, but here are the results. It is based on your BMI range.

The Obesity Paradox
It is becoming known as the "obesity paradox," but this is something of a misnomer. That's because few studies have linked obesity with longer life.

Rather, the studies generally suggest that people with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 -- which is considered overweight but not obese -- have a survival advantage over people with higher or lower BMIs.

BMI, which is a measure of body fat based on a person's height and weight, is used to classify people into weight categories -- underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese.

Based on BMI scores, a 5-foot, 5-inch adult would be considered:

Underweight at 110 pounds or less (BMI <18.5)
Normal weight at 111 to 149 pounds (BMI = 18.5-24.9)
Overweight at 150 to 179 pounds (BMI = 25-29.9)
Obese at 180 to 210 pounds (BMI = 30-34.9)
Extremely obese at 211 pounds or more (BMI = 35 or greater)
In the newly published study, researchers used data from an ongoing Canadian national health survey to follow more than 11,000 adults from the mid-1990s to 2007.

Compared to people who fell into the normal-weight category:

Those classified as underweight were 73% more likely to die.
Those classified as extremely obese with BMI of 35 or greater were 36% more likely to die.
Those classified as obese with BMI 30-34.9 had about the same risk of death.
Those classified as overweight with BMI 25-29.9 were 17% less likely to die.
The study appears online this week in the journal Obesity.

It was conducted by researchers with Statistics Canada, McGill University, and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research and funded by grants from the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the Canadian Embassy.

Kaiser's David Feeny, PhD, who was a co-author of the study, tells WebMD that there are theories, but no hard evidence, to explain why carrying a few extra pounds may add a few years to your life.

you don't have to be stick thin to be healthy ,what i means is for those people who are over weight or obese.. why are people trying to convince them is ok to gorge yourself with food
its SIMPLY NOT HEALTHY...its ok to help others feel better about themselves
we should be promoting Healthy Lifestyles and a Healthy Self-image
rather than telling people is ok to be 300 pounds (meat)as long as you feel good yourself
am not trying to make fun of overweight or obese people...

You think to much and thats weight study is one study and sounds like crap that why I have met skin and bone monks over in temple in there 100's

Is it possible to think too much? I guess it's situational. If someone puts a gun to your head, you would probably have to react or die. But maybe if you react too soon, you'll die when maybe all the guy wanted was your wallet. But then again, once he has your wallet, what's to say he wouldn't kill you? I guess you could act like you are giving him your wallet and then try some kung fu move to disarm him. Or throw the wallet past him and run the other way. It would probably be a good idea to carry two wallets, one for your money and stuff and one stuffed with news paper clippings to trick the mugger. But then again, if he picked up the wallet and it only had news paper clippings, he would probably get very angry and come for revenge. It could quickly turn into a "The Deadliest Prey" sort of situation, with a desperate mugger hunting you for revenge for the humiliation of giving him an empty wallet. So maybe it would be best just to give him your wallet and hope for the best. But maybe he's a homosexual mugger and he'll try to rape you after he has your wallet. So maybe it would be best to fight him. I don't know martial arts, but maybe I could just depend on the kung fu type movies I've seen. I think Matt Damon disarmed some guys in a movie once, so I could watch that and practice at home. But Matt Damon isn't a real martial artist, that's probably all fake movie stuff and wouldn't work in the real world. I guess I could go to YouTube and search for "How to disarm a mugger" and see if there are any videos.

Statistics are based on averages. So the fact that you are more likely to reach 100 (while living in Canada and on a Canadian diet) if you are slightly overweight doesn't mean that there aren't going to be skinny people who live past 100.

I personally met a 114 year old monk he blessed my tattoo and he was skinny as can be looked like Jew in WWII
so dont tell me that crap completely false

Cool.

I want to know what these studies are based on who are the researchers and their credentials

the study doesnt work , unless they follow them to there death beds and take body fat percentage test every month it is fallible

so even seeing it and reading it I am going to believe what I have seen with my own eyes which is skinny monks living to be 80 90 and 100+

years old

and I have my preference you have yours I am just going to continue to argue about how being fat is unhealthy and looks bad

I am by no means fat, but I do have a fe extra pounds. It seems as though most men are looking for women that are like models and/or down right skinny. I would like to believe that's not true. If you are a man that appreciates a little meat with your potatoes or a woman that agrees, I would love to hear from you!!

At this point it does not matter. I'd go to bed with any woman who is between 100 and 200 lbs, no matter the body height.

But if they want to date, that's different. I don't have time for that silly nonsense.

There are a lot of missing variables there. Ethnicity, age, cause of death, gender, length of the study, number of participants, etc.
Girls and guys don't fit the same standard for what is a healthy BMI. If you are 5.5 180 but all muscle and a male with a large bone structure you are not overweight much less obese. You also need to look at the percent body fat.

PKD, you are my guardian angel!!!

I now expect to die in twenty more years, thanks for pushing out my expectation.

Now I have to worry and figure out what to live on between 64 and my death. I slated my savings to run out at 64, coz I was told I would die at 35 when I took an informal life-expectancy test at 42.

I know the math does not make sense, but hey, this is statistics we speaking here.

Er, and none of my figures quoted are fudged. The figures quoted are the figures given and found in reality.

Wowowowo... peaked. The study is meaningless, the findings, as presented.

The sample space is named as "adults".

No age break down of adults is given.

I contest the data, this data, presented, can lead to any sort of conclusion. Please consider that the percentage findings would yield completely different meanings if the subjects were ALL:

Between 21 and 22 years of age, inclusive, or

Between 82 and 99 years of age, inclusive.

The illustrative purposes are clear, and though it is reasonable to think that the sample of "adults" as used for the sample between 1990 and 2001 were not that segregatively skewed in age, it is still extremely important to know their age distribution curve.

Without knowing that, this presentation is worth fabatka.

However, please also notice that weight can and does fluctuate, although not as much as his perceived IQ, of a given person. In 17 years a study subject could have crossed several times a boundary between grouped samples, and some could have crossed more than one boundary, not just one several times.

I am all of a sudden happy I allow myself that Sicilian Ice Cream every Sunday.

Now I feel better. There may still be a good chance I'll die before 65, and not have to starve to death after my 65th birthday.
