ok, follow up to noah's FAT thread

The Japanese are not only heavy smokers they also have a very low incidence of lung cancer. There was some researchers trying to identify the cause, genetic or diet. Also few fat Japanese (at least amongst the tourists in Milan.
France also has a lot of heavy smokers and proportionally low levels of lung cancer, but high levels of mouth cancer and eye problems caused by smoking - this was put down to French smokers not inhaling much but keeping cigarettes in their mouth.

The way I look at it, overindulgence killed those obese folks before the smoking killed the skinny smokers. So as far as I am concerned, food is just as efficient a killer if abused. Maybe more so.

perhaps the elderly obese smoked as well.While I agree that people that eat healthy foods live longer,they as well usually have healthier lifestyles. Anyone who thinks smoking does not cause cancer is living in the dark ages and/or trying to justify a smoking habit.

She is a Sr. in HS and "seeing" a college Jr. The HS boyz were sniffing around her when she was in Jr High. Fortunitly - she is a rather, how do you say, beotch? I actually say prayers for the guy's she goes out with. Lrd have mercy on the man she marries!
