I would really like to hear Dammit's views on the articles linked to. Whereas a BMI of 18.5-25 is what is considered ideal by the medical establishment, further research has shown that an "overweight" BMI of 25-30 actually is a receipe for longer life. Of course, the skinny and the obese, drop dead earlier. But it seems the overweight are better off?
