Fat men are Dumber

Hahaha! is it true? To reveal it, University of Boston have done some reseach by studying over 1400 records from the Framingham Heart Study, which records the mental and physical records of those who went for regular check ups. reseachers found an interesting correlation between obesemen and lower mental agility, althought the same cannot be said for fat woman. "This might be due to the different way fatbis distributed around men and women," said Professor Merril Elias. People used to dismiss obesity as an independent risk factor with recognitive function, saying that if you took into account other factor like high blood pressure you wouldn't see the link. " Time to cut back on the roti canai, boys!"
