DON'T lose weight after a heart attack?

Quote from article:
The editorial in the journal Circulation said: "Among patients with cardiovascular illness, the finding that obese patients fare prognostically better than non-obese patients is not restricted to patients with chronic heart failure. Indeed, in other chronic illnesses like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, renal failure, or liver cirrhosis, obese patients show better survival. Obesity must be a marker of something positive if it is not itself of benefit."

Sounds like the weight is a benefit for chronic illness only.

Hi Rigel Gregg, Bob & Anyone seeking a cure for chronic 'diseases' classified for example as "heart disease" or "diabetes mellitus" aka chronic HYPERglycemia [c/o chronic transient HYPERinsulinemia] …

Obesity is NOT a disease and UNdrugTREATED obesity should be a lifestyle choice...

http://www.chestjournal.org/cgi/content/full/120/6/1953

Heart disease is NOT caused by artery-sclerosis aka 'atherosclerosis' [which is a protective adaptative process] or angina [which is a protective adaptative process].

"...what about all other serious and life threatening problems that can come from obesity?..."

Such issues "come" ...

BECAUSE conventional drug administration imposed upon Those considered "obese" have 'drug-associated side-effects' including 'heart disease' and 'diabetes'.
