New study says you'll be healthier & live longer than those skinny Bi@tches!

"Mortality rates from heart disease, pneumonia and cancer for normal-weight and overweight individuals weren't significantly different, the researchers found. But underweight men and women were nearly four times as likely to die from any cause compared with as overweight individuals, and nearly 18 times more likely to die from cancer. Heart disease mortality in the underweight group was almost four times greater than among normal-weight individuals."
This only applies to over-weight & mild-obesity... severe obesity was not included in the study.
