This makes the third article that I have read concerning this subject this week. It is the best one by far. The others were written more for a medical professional.

Being overweight myself, it is good to hear some positive facts for a change. Up until this study was made public, we that are overweight have been made to think that being overweight is an immediate death sentence. Thanks for posting!! AND welcome to the site from a fellow Tarheel.
