CDC Revises Obesity Toll DOWN DRAMATICALLY

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

I wouldn't want to be the statistican responsible for this foul-up.

In January of 2005 the CDC attributed 365,000 deaths per year in the

US to obesity. Now they have revised the number ...................

Now, three months later, they say it is just 25,814.

They are also saying that being 'somewhat over weight' (however that

is defined) is healthy.

This kind of stuff is truly difficult to believe. Should we from

here on believe ANYTHING that comes out from the CDC?
