For those of use who struggle with their weight, this is interesting.

Sounds good to me!  Just don't tell my daughter who bangs on incessantly about hubby & I being overweight etc etc etc.

Which is why DH usually reads what Ben has to say - now of course I can't remember which web-site Ben fronts but he tries to do research into a lot of these health 'claims' ………

A little of what I fancy ;-)

No one else has commented so i will.

Has this thread caused Rosebud57 to leave the forum ? i noticed last night that her name had gone black.

I wanted to let her know how hypnotherapy was helping me or not - it is at her suggestion that i am trying it.

Can't look back and easily read anyones posts when they go black either - it's a loss.

We are all different people here and sometimes each need a bit of space.

anyone else have huge difficulty getting their computer to load the Independent? It's so slow. Crashes on a tablet too.

Last week a study linked being a little overweight with a lower risk of dementia. 

CKLD I think you are thinking of Ben Goldacre and his Bad Science reporting?

Seems pretty obvious to me that being hugely overweight is bad for your health.  I still think for most people, the biggest health risks are genetic tbh.

   Oldsheep that's him  .........

Being overweight causes intense strain on our internal organs as well as our joints.  Sometimes I wish that I could see inside my skeleton to keep an eye on what is going on in there  .......... to measure the amount of fat round the kidneys, heart etc. ..........
