well that does it! :/

I am moving to West Africa to live with the Abyssinian nobility so that I can be really popular.

Thanks YY but it's not my bd (at least not that I can remember. ~~whimper~~ so may it is. lol). My bd came and went. As fast as the years are going by I'm sure this last year of my 40's is going to feel like approximately 5 minutes long.

Yucky said, "The not-exactly-slim Venus of Willendorf is dated to 30,000 years ago, and if that's a realistic representation of a real female body from that time, certainly obesity predates refined carbs."

Good point. According to Taubes, in 1857 John Hanning Speke found that Abyssinian nobility in West Africa fattened their wives to "such an extent that they could not stand upright."

MrsM! It's your birthday today?? Whenever, here's wishing you a happy one!

But didn't agriculture develop less than 12,000 years ago? Just wondering what the timeline looks like. The not-exactly-slim Venus of Willendorf is dated to 30,000 years ago, and if that's a realistic representation of a real female body from that time, certainly obesity predates refined carbs.

Just reading, don't really know myself -- I'm not THAT old! :}

ROFLMAO! MrsM, you're one funny chick!

According to this I'm doomed. I'm an apple shape when overweight. I also have about 5 minutes left to my 40s to correct this. Okay, a little more than 5 minutes but not much more than that.
Is this why I can't find my keys, call my kids by the pets' names, and forget appointments? I've been blaming menopause.
This is scary stuff. I hope part of the dementia at least leaves me believing

I love this part of the "study":

"While only speculating, she suggests one or more of these inflammatory substances may be able to cross into the brain and cause damage.."

They don't KNOW, but they still make a headline as this is an absolute thruth. By the way, did the study take into account how many of the subjects with "excess belly fat" only exercise their brain by watching

OMG, this study gives Kimmer a plausible insanity plea. It's no longer "the devil made me do it" it's the "sugar made me do it" your honor.

Curses! Foiled again!!

:P

Not too surprising. Big bellies and diseases of civilization appear when people in primitive cultures start eating sugar, white flour and white rice. Specifically, you start to see obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, dental caries, periodontal disease, appendicitis, peptic ulcers, diverticulitis, gallstones, hemorrhoids, varicose veins and
