Article on "Dieting"...it's fairly interesting actually...

After reading the article on “Dieting”, I’m just realizing that men and women who lose more than ten pounds in five years have substantially more heart attack and stroke than expected. This is true of the peoples who lose weight voluntarily (dieters) as well as the people who lose weight involuntarily because they are ill. In second study, men who had at least one cycle of loss and regain are at double the risk for death from heart disease than men who progressively gain weight over twenty five years. I the third study, more than five thousand men and women from Framingham, Massachusetts, were observe for thirty two year. People whose weight fluctuates over the years had 30 to 100 percent greater risk for death from heart disease than people whose weight was stable. When corrected for smoking, exercise, cholesterol level, and blood pressure, the finding become more convincing, suggesting that weight fluctuation (the primary cause which is presumably dieting) may itself increasing the risk of heart disease.
In my personal view, i reckon this is kind of attractive fact that we did not realize.
