While it doesn't lower the risk of heart disease or cancer, it certainly
doesn't harm anyone.At 422 pounds I cannot believe that Lena left those
comfort foods far behind. My question , is she able to get up out of a
chair, how far can she walk without pain, can she climb a hill...
Unfortunately heredity and our environment have such a huge effect on
our health. Sometimes I think it's just the luck of the draw. My
husband's first secretary died two weeks ago of breast cancer. She
wasn't even fifty years old. She leaves a husband and a twenty–one year
old daughter. We all know of such situations.

seem very long when we're talking about a lifetime of dietary and exercise
habits.
I shudder to think how many women will use the headline as justification for
an utter porkfest. Oh, well, I guess that clothing manufacturers can just
adjust the tagged sizes on clothes again.

p.s. I wonder how much weight Lena is going to put on now that she is
getting "reacquainted" with her comfort foods! (Good one, Audrey!)

So, I suppose everyone has heard about the study announced today showing
that eating low fat has no effect on risk of heart disease or cancer or
various other diseases. I read several responses to the news, but this one
really stood out:

"This confirms what I've been saying for years – fat is good for
you," said Lena Lumford, a chef in Reading, Pa. "I weigh 422 pounds,"
said Lumford, 37, "and I never believed all that baloney. Now I'm
getting reacquainted with my comfort foods."

The reporting of that study was *VERY* misleading! The study absolutely
did NOT show that following a low fat diet had no effect on disease!
If you read the study summary, it says that the test group were only
advised to follow a low fat diet and lose weight if needed. Most of
them didn't follow the instructions, remained overweight and continued
to eat a high fat junk food diet.
A more accurate conclusion would be that *telling* people they should
eat better doesn't prevent disease!

IIRC, the study followed the participants for eight years. That doesn't did NOT show that following a low fat diet had no effect on disease!
