When FAT Attacks
is the headline in Newsweek. It provides a good description of research
into fat cells. Supposedly, fat cells release inflammatory compounds, which is why an apple shape is worse than a pear shape ("visceral" fat releases more inflammatory compounds). Dang genetics! -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply

Roger,
The Apple Shape thing makes more sense when applied to female figures than male. Pears have big butts tapering down to a smaller waist. Apples have the big waist and candy-apple stick legs. For; a man the "Apple" shape is really what most of us think of as a Beer Belly. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. Below goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.7 .
