hi Folly: i took out the tape measure....and I am doomed to Die!!! could never get the fat to go to my legs...they have been the same skinny legs since I was a teenage...Oh Well!!!
one less health concern i can safely check off my list then, thank goodness. i knew there was a good reason for chuncky thighs. aka thunderthighs! 23.5 in ??? maybe at the knees. :) yay..
My husband always has had the best legs in the family.............What a relief to know that I won't die from skinny thighs.......I've always been worried about that one!
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.
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.
