Ya Look Skinny, But Your Still Fat

A recent study shows that size really doesn't matter. Ever see one of those fat people on the streets and think, "There's a heart attack waiting to happen?" Well, chances are, your wrong. Actually to be exact, 51 percent of the time your wrong. The study shows that 51 percent of fat people actually have normal cholestorol, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc. What's even MORE surprising is that even though you look skinny, your health may in fact represent that of a fat person. The study also shows that even if you look great in a bikini or you have that perfect 21 year old bod, you can still be a heart attack waiting to happen. This study is the first of its kind, finally giving proof that even though you may look bad, it doesn't mean your unhealthy.

The fine line between overweight and just right is actually very vague and unclear. Scientists use a Body-mass index, which uses a weight to height ratio. However, the main problem with this is that the system does not distinguish between muscle and fat. This problem was brought to the attention of the world when the NBA classified nearly half of its players as overweight. Other experts tend to go by waist size, saying it's a more effective way of measuring. Within the study, those in the overweight and obese category but WERE healthy usually had skinnier waists than those that WEREN'T healthy. Just goes to show. Size really DOESN'T matter. (Unless you wanna look good in today's materialistic society)
