Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, a professor of family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego, appears to agree, "I believe the data," (BMI of 25 to 30) the supposedly called overweight range, "may be optimal".
Dr Michael Thun of the American Cancer Society pointed out, that the report "definitely won't be the last word." He said as much in a report from the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research, wherein they reported that staying slim was the main recommendation for avoiding cancer.
What more can you expect, say some critics, however, from organizations whose money comes mainly from drug companies which make billions feeding helpless cancer victims toxic drugs that make the majority of them suffer miserably through horrid quality of life and then die anyway.
Dr Flegal, has long held that, "The suggestion that a bit of extra weight may assist patients recovering from an infection or surgery was of no surprise. If you are in an adverse situation, that could be good for you."
The authors of the study note in conclusion; "Overweight ... may be associated with improved survival during recovery from adverse conditions, such as infections or medical procedures, and with improved prognosis for some diseases. Such findings may be due to greater nutritional reserves or higher lean body mass associated with overweight."
Personally, I agree with the study, anyone who does not is not enlightened and pooh-poohing millions of case studies is about as unscientific and hardheaded as it is possible to get. However, one way to ensure honesty among researchers is to ban all donations except those from the government and individuals, and never from drug or food companies.
Mr. John Kanzius, cancer killing machine and more studies like this will gut the end of life horrors introduced by the choke holding Legalized Drug dealers of the world. If I had my way I would put them to the Guillotine, for they, more than any criminal ever, have obstructed justice, tortured and sent to horrible, pitiful deaths, even than the Rove/Rumsfeld/Cheney monsters.
God has given His personal promise to some that the chokehold of the drug companies, health insurers, the corporations, the arms dealers, the oil companies will be broken forever, and very soon. I certainly welcome that. People go through enough misery in their lives without drug dealers made legal by law and the destruction of patient rights and privacy, adding to the hell of dying of some diseases. I am certainly more willing to see people die at the hands of what the medical, profession calls quacks, then die horribly in torture from bullshit chemical petroleum distillate toxic waste used for treating people, authorized by the government and enforced by criminal law. I say let people who have been found to have a fatal illness use whatever makes them comfortable in the last year or so of life, marijuana, cocaine, mainlining peanut butter, or what have you. It is certainly no worse than the Guantanamo Abu Ghraib-like "Chemotherapy" despicable "treatments," which God sees as torture by profiteers.
Mr. John Kanzius, has not only invented a machine I described to the University of Chicago 40 years ago, from a dream in which an angel described it to me, which will kill any cancer on the planet, but he also has designed a means of drawing hydrogen for fuel from sea water which was also described in the same dream, in 1967.

When the rest of America realizes that death is less to be feared then the attempts to avoid it, then they will display that they truly beleive whole heartedly in a God. They have to take the leap of faith Indiana Jones took when he stepped out onto the invisible bridge to find the Chalice of Jesus last sip. God that we all have th courge to say no to the bastards and drive them the Hell out of business.
