According to the BBC website:

One quote:

"Even more surprising, it wasn't that abdominal fat was exerting
negative effects, but that subcutaneous fat was producing a good
effect."

So fat (in the right place) is actively good for you!

And it worked if they simply transplanted the fat - at least for mice!
Wow! It's not their featured article this month, which is free, but
that might be cool anyway - it's on ghrelin/leptin pathways.

My comment to Cheryl[1] (my wife) was that this was why I was diabetic and
not her..

Which didn't go down *hugely* well :-)
