fat people more likey to go blind

I thought it was wanking that made you go blind?

yeah incidence is higher in diabetics but thats something to do with insulin resistance isn't it?

but that makes sense for the obese cos its more in type 2 diabetes and insulin intolerence...

well fat people are less likely to get laid therefore more likely to wank more and go blind quicker?

its all inter-related

Man, imagine the group counselling sessions. :sick:

group wanking sessions you mean

Eurgh, big bunch of tubbies all reaching over in a circle-tug, huge, thick NHS specs getting all steamy.

Sorry? Malnourishment qualifies as both under-eating and over-eating. Surely, having passed a degree, you should know that?

Obesity doesn't necessarily mean that you have a balanced intake of all vitamins, minerals, nutrients, amino acids, fatty acids, etc. It would be quite easy for somebody to be fat and still have a retinol deficiency.

I didn't say I knew what it would be, I merely said that I would be interested to see exactly what the article was about.

You get no points for randomly trying to be clever and in turn making yourself look stupid...

i thought malnourishment was just under eating, ethernopian style.

But anyway it had something to do with diabetes as already said

No, malnourishment really just means not properly nourished. The prefix 'mal-' just suggests a deficiency.

That's at least how I was taught it anyway...

suppose it makes sense, but surely fatties have to much of everything in there bodies the fat shits

Mal is French for bad/badly or poor/poorly

That's what I mean. Which, in some cases, can be just as bad, if not worse, than having a lack of essential nutrients/vitamins/etc.

Thank you

go frenchy go, har hee har!!!!

how would it be easy to have a vit a deficiency in the western world? its fucking everywhere!

and you can't count absorption problems as thats clearly not diet orientated.

anyway this study is about the pathophysiology of obesity and not diet...

isn't it garlic not onions?

I liked the onion picture.

yeah you can get probs from just having too much pate

but nothing has EVER been reported to effect anything to do with eyesight from over-nutrition... surely you're vast learnings should have taught you this?

You have a point here. However, speaking hypothetically, it would be perfectly possible to be obese and still have vitamin deficiencies.

On the other hand, there could be a link between too high an intake of retinol and blindness. I'm not sure, I didn't write the article, I was just interested as to what it would be about.
