I have a problem with the way the mainstream media presents the study. "Conclusions: Among US adults, there is a high prevalence of clustering of cardiometabolic abnormalities among normal-weight individuals and a high prevalence of overweight and obese individuals who are metabolically healthy. Further study into the physiologic mechanisms underlying these different phenotypes and their impact on health is needed." What I get from this is that more studies need to be initiated? Many people might think they have no need to exercise, eat "better". I agree with the three points you present...thank you!

There shouldn't be any excuses for being overweight and no excuses for not taking care of yourself by seeing doc regularly for check-ups.
