Diet: Excessive Fat kills.

In this new century, news media are finally aware that America's
major health problem is obesity. Excess weight not only contributes
to almost every health risk, it can actually multiply the risk
factors, including those from tobacco. It has already been reported
that tobacco causes
more deaths than AIDS / HIV, maternal mortality, automobile
accidents, homicide and suicide combined, yet obesity makes
the risks even higher.

You don't have to be 300 pounds overweight for fat to be harmful.
Being "pleasingly plump" or even leaner can be enough to increase
your risks of various ailments, such as cancers, diabetes, heart
disease, memory loss, menopause, osteoporosis, PMS, stroke.
