This is interesting. I won't claim that being thin saves one from cancer. My almost 91 year old father, who is very drastically UNDERWEIGHT and has been for years, was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer.

But I still want to stay within the normal BMI index for my height, and I wouldn't mind reaching a point where I have a bit of a cushion. i don't expect it to keep me from the possibility of cancer. I do hope it will have other health benefits.


I'm not sure what the point of posting this article is.....But then it is getting late, and my brain is a bit fuzzy.
