deuces wild Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 CHICAGO - Packing on the pounds is not nearly as deadly as the government thought, according to a new calculation from the CDC that found people who are modestly overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that obesity accounts for 25,814 deaths a year in the United States. As recently as January, the CDC came up with an estimate 14 times higher: 365,000 deaths.According to the new calculation, obesity ranks No. 7 instead of No. 2 among the nation's leading preventable causes of death. The new analysis found that obesity — being extremely overweight — is indisputably lethal. But like several recent smaller studies, it found that people who are modestly overweight have a lower risk of death than those of normal weight.LINKDrink wine....don't drink wine.Use salt......don't use salt.Lose weight.......gain weight. :bangin: :ranting: :shocking: :wallbash: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
