A new report suggests that being overweight is not as harmful as is
commonly believed, and actually confers some surprising benefits.
Being five to ten pounds overweight could protect people from
ailments ranging from tuberculosis to Alzheimer's disease, research
indicates. Those carrying 15 to 25 extra pounds are better able to
recover from adverse conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, and
various injuries and infections, states the report.
Thirty to forty pounds of flab could help fend off breast, kidney,
pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer. And an extra fifty pounds on
the scale may improve eyesight, reverse baldness, cure the common
cold, and reduce global warming.
In general, the report concludes, overweight people are happier, more
successful in business, smarter, and friendlier.
The study was funded by a research grant from McDonald's, Burger
King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Haagen
Dazs, Sara Lee, and Krispy Kreme.
