[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, the Reddit fatlogic trolls are so dumb. It's embarrassing.[/quote] Not a troll. It’s true. It’s one thing to love yourself no matter what; it’s another to convince yourself that being fat doesn’t come with all sorts of health consequences. [/quote] Like I said, really really stupid. Signed, Related to an obesity researcher who is an author of several of those studies you are too dim to understand.[/quote] NP here. I work in health care on a critical care team at a large hospital. Every single day that I go to work, I physically put my hands on people who are typically at the end of their lives in the ICU (non-trauma ICU; medical). Obesity, and especially morbid obesity like Tess H., is a comorbidity that shortens the lifespan, and is a disease independent of other factors. I have a feeling your relative does cellular research, right? I witness the last breaths of dying people every single week and you know what? The large majority of them are fat. Many are profoundly fat, >350 lbs (male and female). Show me data that contradict my lived professional experience, PP[/quote] DP You "work in health care on a critical care team," but you are not trained as a physician, correct? Do you understand what is meant by relevant comparison groups, the difference between [I]in vivo[/I] and [I]invitro[/I], and for the love of god, why you might have a "selection bias?"[/quote]
