Because this study lacked a control group of 6,583 thin people to use as comparison, the principal investigators cannot state absolutes about obesity and dementia or any other inferred outcomes. Seriously - I bet a group of 6,583 people with subscriptions to TV Guide have a substantial dementia risk too! This is bad science.

Looks hard as a rock and more like he' having a baby than fat. Always wondered about guys like that (never seen a woman get that same type of belly). What the heck is that??
