Being Slightly Overweight Or Obese May Increase Heart Disease Events Risk Independently

Really "moderately overweight" is the condition per this study.

Apparently just telling it the way it is just won't cut it for these researchers:

"Regardless of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels, if you are moderately overweight or obese you are likely to have a raised risk of developing coronary heart disease events, according to a report published in Archives of Internal Medicine (JAMA/Archives), September 10 issue."

And more crap:

"The authors wrote 'Because of the high prevalence of overweight and the expected future increases, it is essential to gain precise insight into the consequences of overweight for health and into the metabolic pathways that link the two.'"

"Essential"? Hogwash.

"Precise insight"? Never during our lifetimes.

The thieves want more money to research "the metabolic pathways that link" "overweight and health."

The pathway (singular) is known and direct - more Calories in than out lead to overweight and increased health risks.

Period.
