I am not saying that. I am saying that the theory about absolute amount of fat being bad for health, as stated by the comment you responded, seems to be supported by data.


That’s not the question I ask though. I asked about the specific claim that absolute fat was bad for your heart.

But also short people living longer has so many more possible explanations than less overall fat.


> I asked about the specific claim that absolute fat was bad for your heart.

There is no word "heart" or any to this effect in the message you replied to so I did not understand that was what you were doing. I took your question as an attempt to attack the theory on the basis of prevalence of some heart conditions in shorter people.


No that’s not what I was getting at. The post was edited and originally mentioned absolute amount of fat being bad for your heart.
