This study left a lasting impression. It's the Insulin that is damaging. And .....whether a body is fat or thin is not important as Thin people have heart attacks, too.All about the insulin.



Yeah, there are incidents where thin people with very low cholesterol (not medicated) have heart attacks.



This actually happened to an old friend of my parents. The husband was perpetually thin. His wife was always battling an extra 20-30 lbs.


His cholesterol was considered to be a very healthy low number. His wife's cholesterol was considered to be dangerously high. (This was back when a cholesterol number of 240 was only considered to be low borderline high.)



He's the one who ended up having a heart attack out of the blue, not her.


No idea what his blood sugar was like though.
