A Big Bottom May Be a Good Thing
A type of fat that accumulates around the hips and bottom may actually offer some protection against diabetes, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

They said subcutaneous fat, or fat that collects under the skin, helped to improve sensitivity to the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar
Mice that got transplants of this type of fat deep into their abdomens lost weight and their fat cells shrank, even though they made no changes in their diet or activity levels.

"It was a surprising result," said Dr. Ronald Kahn of Harvard Medical School in Boston, whose study appears in the journal Cell Metabolism.

3. Well, I must be safe, then.
From our Spinal Tap friends:

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'
That's what I said
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo
I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day
You know what I mean

My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?

7. I have been musing lately
that in Redding, being sorta fat means you're not a tweeker.

People in stores give me the once over, and are mostly pretty friendly. I'm not sure they'd be so welcoming to the skinny dude picking imaginary sores outside. :P

8. but won't the kind of diet that allows you to build up the fat put you at higher risk for diabetes?
:shrug:

11. not necessarily
some types of bodies just store fat there, some sorts of bodies store it in the abdomen which increases your risk of diabetes. Not much you can do about your genetics. The 2 healthiest people I know (in regards to eating all their veggie servings and following low-fat diet and 5+ x a week exercise) are "overweight" but have blood pressure and cholesterol levels that make the doctors' jaws drop. Plus they're physically strong and flexible and not just "for a fat person" but for ANY person. A lot of people refuse to believe it's not all determined by "move more, eat less" It's way more fun to blame an overweight person for their problem than to believe that A) you can be overweight and healthier than a thin person or B) that you have no control over your genetic makeup.
