Fatties 'not as brainy'

By EMMA MORTON

WOMEN who are obese have less chance of being brainy, doctors claimed yesterday.

Medics have found too much fat can cause loss of brain tissue.
The damage is to the areas known as temporal lobes, which control memory, speech and hearing. And the risk increases by 16 per cent with every kilogram of excess weight.

Obesity can even trigger dementia in older women, researchers discovered in a 24-year study in Sweden.

Team leader Dr Deborah Gustafson said: “Fat is a risk for women. Other studies reported similar findings.”

As soon as I saw the verbage I immediately thought, "NY Post, or The Sun".

I think this isn't just fatties, but women in general.

I find this study surprising since you'd think they'd be ashamed of ever leaving the house.

Hence, bookworms.

Finally, science proves the "No Fat Chicks" theory.

Captain Obvious says, "they're eating themselves to death, that's about as dumb as it gets." :lol PEACE.

Being overweight makes you stupid? Better burn my Junior Honor Society certificate and drop out of college until I lose 60 pounds, then

You're not a woman, though.
See how it works?

 

[belgurdo]

Yeah, that's what it says.

...I feel pretty, at the least

Yeah, you're gonna have to blame something else for your subpar reading comprehension. I blame LAUSD and booze for mine.
