RESOURCES LIFT Tehama set for Nov. 13 It takes all kinds. People can and will be- lieve just about anything they put their feel- ings to. From the crimi- nally tragic, such as Ho- locaust de- niers, to the hopeful yet silly — that Elvis Presley is still alive and living in Ottawa run- ning a nightclub, there is no shortage of conspiracy the- ories or reality-free propo- sitions available for one to latch onto. Consider the "obesity paradox." In a nutshell, the concept promotes the notion that being at one's ideal weight is unnecessary. Actually, it goes beyond that and says that — based on studies — people who are classified as overweight or even mod- erately obese seem to have better health and mortality outcomes than "normal" or "thin" folks. The concept is controver- sial — ya think? — but its foundation lies in the hy- pothesis that extra pounds might actually help de- fend one's health, especially when it comes to certain chronic conditions like di- abetes, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. The "paradox" was first floated in 2003, where research- ers were puzzled by the fact that heavier patients suf- fering from heart failure seemed to do better than their thinner counterparts. So, two plus two became five and it was deduced that having extra weight might actually be good for you. There's an old adage about data: "Figures don't lie; liars figure." "The problem," says An- drew Stokes, a professor at Boston University who studies the obesity paradox, "is there is compelling evi- dence that the obesity par- adox is not a real biological finding at all but just sloppy science," due to the fact that its proponents study peo- ple's weights at a point in time instead of across their lifetimes. As explanation, that would be like com- paring two groups: smok- ers who had stopped their habit last week because they were suffering from its effects, to smokers who had yet to quit but were lack- ing any ill effects. Classify- ing the first group as "non smokers" and the second as "smokers" would certainly lead to the conclusion that "non smokers" have poorer health than "smokers." In the weight loss instance, not classifying people cor- rectly could have a similar effect. In defense of the para- dox, some have pointed out that studies have shown an increased risk of death in not only society's heaviest people, but also in its slim- mest. To that, Frank Sacks, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, points out that skinny men and women might have "other co-morbidities, other problems, and bad hab- its" such as being so thin due to other health prob- lems. Therefore, it's not that being thin is the cause of health problems, but the other way around — they're so skinny due to the health problems that plague them, which — in the end — are the cause of death. Again for comparison, if one steps outside and notices that whenever the sidewalk is wet that it's raining, citing a 100 percent correlation between the two, he or she could wrongly assume that wet sidewalks cause rain in- stead of what actually hap- pens. Indeed, in another re- cent study, Stokes and a col- league examined data from more than 30,000 partic- ipants over two-plus de- cades and found that when one controlled for weight history and removed other health factors found that any benefit that might or might not be derived from carrying extra fat is out- weighed (no pun intended) when stacked up against the harms of obesity, and "overweight and obesity be- come significantly positively related to risk of death." When one controls for real-life factors, it appears that the obesity paradox — like so many pounds at a weight loss support group — vanishes.

SCOTT MARCUS Theobesityparadoxandyourhealth Scott Marcus CORNING The Richfield Mercantile store, owned by C. W. Million, a well known merchant of Corning, was robbed of cash, stamps and merchandise by unknown men Thursday night or early Friday morning. The robbers gained their entrance through a window in the rear of the building with the aid of a pick which they left by the window. They located the safe and then carried five sacks of barley and placed them against the safe door so as to deaden the noise. The safe was blown open with nitro-glycerine. Evi- dently a heavy charge was used as the door was blown clear off its hinges and the top and bottom of the safe were damaged to a great extent. — Oct. 30, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
