It seems even Mommy’s fat has becoming sacred!

Richard Weil, Med, CDE is quoted today on MSN.COM – “There is a genetic factor that determines where people accumulate fat. Women tend to accumulate it in their hips, buttocks, and thighs, and men tend to accumulate it in their abdomen.

The fat that accumulates on the hips, thighs and buttocks, although perhaps not cosmetically appealing, is not dangerous for your health. In fact, there is some evidence that it is actually good for your health. The opposite is true for abdominal fat. That fat has been implicated in heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Men with a pot belly are therefore at increased health risk, whereas women with large hips or thighs are not necessarily at risk.”

So thighs of large-curd cottage cheese aren’t only natural, but a good thing. And sadly, beer bellies, “that fat” is simply not where it’s at.

Again guys are forced to the edge of the buffet table and left to wonder “What Happened?”
