Kijk uit voor tweedehands vet!
De ene wetenschapper na de andere komt met ‘bewijsmateriaal’ dat tweedehands rook (‘meeroken’) zo gevaarlijk zou zijn. Samenleven met een roker is nog veel erger want dan word je dagelijks aan carcinogene stoffen blootgesteld en daardoor zou je wel eens erg ziek kunnen worden..
Maar hoe zit dat met samenwonen met een dikkerd? Stel je voor dat een wetenschapper met de bekende junk-science methoden en statistieken die in de anti-rokenwereld in zwang zijn zou bewijzen dat leven in de omgeving van een dikkerd levensgevaarlijk is en je ook hartaanvallen en meer van die enge welvaartsziekten kan bezorgen?
Wij vonden een aardige beschrijving van zo’n geval…..
THERE’S something even deadlier in the air than secondhand smoke — it’s secondhand fat, says a top researcher.
For years, doctors have been baffled by the high number of heart attack deaths of extremely skinny people, who were married to fatties or living with whale-size family members.
Some theorized that they just might be getting clogged arteries because they adopted the same poor eating habits of their obese spouses or housemates.
But now, Dr. Benjamin Myers, an obesity specialist in Bristol, Conn., says that invisible particles of fat detach themselves from obese people and are breathed in by those around them.
“I believe that fatties exude teensy-weensy bits of fat into the air which is picked up by those around them and can actually affect them in a negative way,” explains Myers. “It seems that thin people are especially susceptible to this secondhand fat and, before you know it they keel over from a clogged artery even if they’ve been eating nothing but rabbit food all their lives.
“I can’t tell you how many cases I’ve seen of a Jack Spratt, who’s eaten no fat for 40 years, suddenly keel over with a heart attack. Meanwhile, his whalesized wife, who has been pigging out on fat-filled foods, keeps wallowing along.”
Ironically, Myers is slated to be an expert witness at an upcoming Pennsylvania murder trial, in which an obese diet-cheating husband is accused of slaying his reed-thin wife with secondhand fat.
