At its very extreme (i.e. a BMI of 35 MINIMUM), yes, being overweight can, alone, negatively affect your health.
But guess what? It's many times more statistically dangerous to have a BMI below 20. You know how you've always been told that a healthy BMI range starts at 18.5? Yeah, it's bullshit - and if you pay attention, you'll notice an increasing number of medical sources quietly changing that number to 20 as this information filters into the public consciousness.
(And no, I'm not fat. I say this as someone with a BMI of 17. Statistically, I'm death walking.)
Even Scientific American Reports has printed an article supporting this (and the long, LONG history the weight loss industry has of publishing misinformation and burying the facts). You could probably find that back copy at your library. This isn't "fringe" science. It's out there, mainstream, available for anyone who cares to take a look. People just aren't because they are too invested in the lies they've been told.
Stop believing the DAMN LIES you're being fed. They exist to make other people's WALLETS fat while the public SUFFERS. You don't have to go along with it.
