    I took a 10 minute break from unpacking, checked the computer, and saw this article that should put a smile on some of our faces.

    Well, I've been very thin for the last 40 years and just this past year gained somewhere between 15-20 lbs so thought for sure I would have healthy, chubby thighs. Nope. I'm a goner.

    Looks like I am going to be around for awhile. I was shooting for 103 but I just might live to be 105. I like that number better.

    What part of the thigh do you measure--largest or smallest?

    I don't have a "smallest", but I would guess if you do, measure the larger part.

    One think I've learned through dementia is to not pay much attention to medical reporting, especially on TV.

    It is interesting and I wonder if other studies back it up. Science works on different studies coming to the same conclusion. Hundreds of medical papers are published every month and you can find one to support any position you hold. Just cause it is published doesn't mean that it is well done.

    And correlation does not equal causation. The rate of autism correlates perfectly with the increase of consumption of natural foods. Of course one does not cause the other, but that is an example of a useless correlation. There are all sorts of reasons for correlation, that the genes that help keep people skinny might affect the heart, or that the dieting associated with extreme skinniness causes heart damage.

    But if the report makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.
