Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

I inferred that was an official medical phrase, what people with a stake in this define as "dangerously" fat differs in all the battles about fat and health.

[(Anonymous)]

Then this is a good example of the "HAES is anti-science" argument, where things that have been long stated to be unhealthy by doctors which is generally accepted by the medical community are now up for debate and "depends on your definition"

Re: Problematic Opinion Thread

No, it depends on which scientific studies have been used by the medical profession peak bodies, which tend to be notoriously alarmist and conservative to fit social policies. Fat is associated with poor lifestyles leading to high morbidity/mortality, and correlation and causation get strictly conflated by policies.

I mean, if most scientific studies, well conducted, without bias find 300lbs, when taking lifestyle factors into account, to significantly increase morbidity, then I'm all for those findings. However, there's a lot of studies that don't find a higher weight to increase this (in fact some studies find a protective effect) EXCEPT for diabetes type II. (Since I'm at very high risk of that post-pregnancy, I'm very glad I lost weight.)

I went into the science of all this a few years ago, so no I don't have citations to hand, and I still have an open mind about it. I also have two science-related degrees so I'm hardly anti-science. I am, however, fully cognisant of how science can be misused to fit a social agenda, whatever that agenda is.
