High blood pressure ups risk of mental decline

A chicken or egg situation for fat people.

"People with a history of hypertension (high blood pressure) appear to be at increased risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, a condition that involves difficulties with thinking and learning, investigators at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons report."

Fat people have an increased incidence of hypertension.

Fat happens over time, it is not a sudden development.

It is clear that fat people have a real cognitive impairment.

They either do not notice they are blimpifying or they are too stupid to stop.

Maybe once there, at fat and hypertensive, they get even stupider.

"Preventing and treating hypertension may have an important impact in lowering the risk of cognitive impairment," the investigators conclude.

A great way to inspire preventive behavior and get them "thinking and learning" is to cut off the flow of money spent on rescuing fat people from themselves while harming the rest of us.
