I'm troubled by this latest article which just appeared in the Yahoo Health & Science news section.

The title of the article is, "Risk of Leukemia High in Older Obese Women". It begins by explaining that new research has found a higher risk of leukemia among older overweight women, offering another piece of evidence that carrying extra pounds can increase your chance of getting cancer.

Later on, it goes on to qualify the results of the research by stating that "because the study didn't address just how excessive weight might contribute to AML", it doesn't prove that losing weight will reduce the risk in older obese women.

My question is this: Who gives a fuck?
Am I a hero? I really can't say. But, yes.

Older obese women with Leukemia if I had to guess.

Although they might be more likely to give a shit rather than a fuck, so you do have a point.

For dessert I had a slice of Peanut Butter Pie. It was simplyfantastic. Graham-cracker crust. Peanut butter filling. Mixed chocolate chips within. Whipped topping, and chocolate sauce, all equaled a splendid finish to a hearty meal.

God, how I love a good dessert...
