My very nonscientific, inadequately caffeinated brain interprets this article as an explanation of why over the last 25 years or so I have steadily gained weight on a heart-healthy diet while the hubs has remained downright skinny eating all manner of crap.

I just had to switch primary care docs when mine retired. Because I am almost in the morbidly obese category this little girl doctor was telling me how unhealthy I was and printed a bunch of information (all of which I know, of course--fat people probably read more about nutrition than most MDs) about how to lose weight so I don't drop over dead. Wish I had had bad manners to tell her I had a BMI of 22 when I was her age and to STFU and look at my lab values. :::sigh:::
