Obesity May Accelerate Brain Aging
natehoy writes "According to the US News and World Report, a recent study has shown a link between obesity and the loss of neurological tissue. The brains of elderly patients who were obese had on average 8% less tissue than their trimmer counterparts. Overweight patients had brains lighter by about 4%. This could have implications for the onset of dementia illnesses such as Alzheimer's. Just one more risk factor to add to the growing body (no pun intended) of reasons to try and stay trim."
So, this finally explains Rush Limbaugh!
Putting the "anal" back into "analyst"...
it's another flawed study.
I don't know... it seems to explain Limbaugh.
Dear Lord: I don't want to go back to college, so please help me be sexy. Amen.
"tow my trailer full of dirt bikes or quads when I go camping"
Try actually camping, sometime. Backpacks, tents, some food. Walk into the forest. Leave the gasoline at home.

Try actually camping sometime, nude with a pointy stick and a rock to throw at birds. Way to set arbitrary limits for "actual" camping.
By your definition, neoconservatives are hippies. They think that their ideas and opinions are more important than all the rest of the world. Why don't we go invade a couple more countries to prove how hip we are?
You're still a douche.

"I don't care at all what you think of my recreation style."
Telling obvious lies on a public forum is just plain STOOPID! If you didn't care, you wouldn't have posted. You wouldn't have wasted half an hour of your life trying to articulate your contempt for me. You wouldn't have wasted that time failing to prove how macho you are.
At least you didn't waste both of our time telling me that you and your sons are fucking LARD ASSES.
My family and I have laughed at your kind for decades. No real hunter takes a truck into the woods. A real hunter doesn't even need those overpowered assault rifles that half of you city boys carry into the woods. I've already stated that I can bring more food home with a sharp stick than most of the city boys we see tearing the woods up on their ATV's.
Call me a hippy, if you like. Calling me doesn't make me one - it only helps to show how morally bankrupt you are.
