How Fat Hurts Your Health | Men's Health:
Interesting article on the differences of how men (around the abdomen) and women (lower body) store fat and speculates that the differences go back to ancient (and in hunter-gatherer) days.
"When researchers in St. Louis tracked a group of liposuction patients after surgery, they found zero improvement in blood pressure, triglycerides, glucose tolerance, or HDL or LDL cholesterol profiles. The pale, gloppy fat that a patient pays to have removed isn't pretty, but its absence doesn't guarantee the health profile of a lean, fit person. That's because visceral fat, the kind that wraps around your organs and makes you unhealthy, is also the kind that liposuction can't reach."
