Okay, David caught me in my first lie. I said I wouldn't respond again, but I will make ONE more response to cover up more of his lies.
"I find it hard to believe that in this environment people don't know that eating fast food is not healthy. Most people seem to know if they're overweight, and that hasn't seemed to change their behaviors. Obese people certainly know that their weight is increasing their risk of poor health—they actually overestimate the mortality risks of obesity. I think information alone is not going to change people's behavior and get them to lose weight."
- Dr. Eric Finkelstein of Duke University's Global Health Institute, who apparently doesn't know as much about health as David_theMan.
"Dr. Finkelstein is Professor of Health Services and Systems Research Program at the Duke-NUS Medical School and the Executive Director of the Lien Centre for Palliative Care. He also holds appointments at NUS School of Public Health and Duke University Global Health Institute. His research focuses on the economic causes and consequences of health behaviors."
Complete, absolute lie. I posted this study from the New England Journal of Medicine, which included the following paragraph full of cites from other scientific peer-reviewed studies:
"Obesity is a multisystem condition associated with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, cancer, and other complications.21,22
The effect of body weight on mortality has been studied extensively. In a study of more than a million U.S. adults, the lowest death rates were found among men with a BMI of 23.5 to 24.9 and among women with a BMI of 22.0 to 23.4. Death rates from cardiovascular diseases were substantially elevated among people with higher BMIs.
A prospective study of 6139 subjects in Germany found the greatest obesity-associated excess mortality to be among the young24 — the standardized mortality ratio for people 18 to 29 years of age with a BMI of 40 or over was 4.2 in men and 3.8 in women.
Fontaine et al. estimated the effect of obesity on years of life lost across the lifespan of adults.25 For any degree of excessive body weight, young age was associated with greater years of life lost.
Allison et al. used data from six cohort studies in the United States to determine that obesity causes approximately 300,000 deaths per year,26
Being overweight in childhood increases the risk among men of death from any cause and death from cardiovascular disease; it also increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity among both men and women.28
The lifetime risk of diabetes among people born in the United States has risen rapidly to 30 to 40 percent — a phenomenon presumably attributable to the obesity “epidemic.”29 Having diabetes in adulthood increases the risk of a heart attack by as much as having had a previous heart attack,30 and the life-shortening effect of diabetes is approximately 13 years.31
Evidence also suggests that at younger ages, disability rates have risen and fitness levels have declined dramatically in the United States, with both trends attributed, at least in part, to the rise in obesity.32,33
The incidence of type 2 diabetes in childhood in the United States has increased many times over in the past two decades, an increase that is due almost entirely to the obesity epidemic34,35; shockingly, life-threatening complications, including renal failure, may develop by young adulthood in at least 10 percent of children with type 2 diabetes.36
If left unchecked, the rising prevalence of obesity that has already occurred in the past 30 years is expected to lead to an elevated risk of a range of fatal and nonfatal conditions for these cohorts as they age.29
If the prevalence of obesity continues to rise, especially at younger ages, the negative effect on health and longevity in the coming decades could be much worse. It is not possible to predict exactly when obesity among the young will have its largest negative effect on life expectancy. However, in the absence of successful interventions, it seems likely that it will be in the first half of this century, when at-risk populations reach the ages of greatest vulnerability.
Obesity has been shown to have a substantial negative effect on longevity, reducing the length of life of people who are severely obese by an estimated 5 to 20 years.25
Although the life-shortening effect of obesity is evident for people who are obese, its negative effect on the future life expectancy of the population is also critically important to public policy."
You have been completely, utterly, OWNED.
My other links were two New York Times articles, one of which was summarizing another report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Not a "propaganda site", you liar.
Absolutely false, as proven in that wall of studies right above.
Also, of your two studies, one was about HDFC and had nothing to do with anything, and the other said there was a U-shaped curve with obesity leading to higher mortality.
What kind of insane lie is that?

A scientific paper from the New England Journal of Medicine which cites NUMEROUS studies linking obesity to poorer life expectancy.
"Estimates suggest that obesity accounts for 5 to 15% of deaths each year in the United States2-5"
"In the analyses of the risks of death associated with BMI and smoking, mortality was higher among current smokers and those with a higher BMI (consistent with the findings by Flegal and colleagues).3"
"Although adverse behavioral risk factors cannot be completely eliminated, even modest weight loss35 and reductions in smoking at the individual level12 can have substantial effects on population health. Research has shown the clinical efficacy of several interventions in achieving smoking cessation36 and weight control.35,37-39"
"addressing the roots of obesity, which include sedentary lifestyles, the widespread availability of high-calorie food in large portions, and reduced time for the preparation of food at home.32,42-45"
Obesity in adulthood and its consequences for life expectancy
A scientific, peer-reviewed study in the Annals of Internal Medicine
"Large decreases in life expectancy were associated with overweight and obesity. Forty-year-old female nonsmokers lost 3.3 years and 40-year-old male nonsmokers lost 3.1 years of life expectancy because of overweight. Forty-year-old female nonsmokers lost 7.1 years and 40-year-old male nonsmokers lost 5.8 years because of obesity. Obese female smokers lost 7.2 years and obese male smokers lost 6.7 years of life expectancy compared with normal-weight smokers. Obese female smokers lost 13.3 years and obese male smokers lost 13.7 years compared with normal-weight nonsmokers."

Even After Weight Loss, Obesity Can Reduce Life Span
A scientific, peer-reviewed study in PNAS
"Among the people in the study, those who had ever been overweight were 19 percent more likely to die during the 23-year study period, compared with those who had never exceeded normal weight.
Those who had ever been obese (with a body mass index, or BMI, from 30.0 to 34.9) were 65 percent more likely to die during the study than those who had never exceeded normal weight. And those who had ever been severely obese (with a BMI of 35.0 or above) were nearly 150 percent more likely to die during this time period than those who remained in the normal weight range."

Not trying to argue anything, its simply a fact.
I posted the info that, was scientific, that confirmed what I said. Period.
You posted shyt from propaganda sites, not scientific peer reviewed studies.

IThey are all postulations, but none are actually testing on the data of if Obesity is linked to an increase in mortality, like the studies I have posted, two scientific peer reviewed studies.
Absolutely false, as proven in that wall of studies right above.
Also, of your two studies, one was about HDFC and had nothing to do with anything, and the other said there was a U-shaped curve with obesity leading to higher mortality.

On top of that again, none of the links you posted were scientific, except the one regarding smoking and obesity, and like the other one you posted, merely was talking about its projection of obesity on life expectancy forecasting models, not actual investigation into if obesity itself caused an increase in mortality, like the studies I posted.
