Is The 'X Factor' Bloodbath Over?
Sing it, Sir-Mix-A-Lot! The black community has long considered ample hips and behinds to be desirable features in women. Now, some members of the medical community are following suit. According to a recent Oxford University study, women with pear-shaped figures (larger hips, butts and thighs) are at a lower risk for heart disease and other metabolic diseases.
Oxford's Dr. Konstantinos Manopolous told BBC News that fat in the hips and butt absorbs "harmful fatty acids" and prevents arteries from clogging."

Take note: the "spare tire" around the middle is still not good.
"Fat around the hips and thighs is good for you," Manopolous said "but around the tummy is bad."

It just shows how these unversity professors are complete idiots, These are the same idiots who say the Hollywood cookie diet is good for you. If a fat azz was a source for good health, most women would be living well into their 100's. If your butt is absorbing fatty acids(which contain cholesterol and other toxins) then it simply means the fat is being transfered to the rear, if it's not burned off with exercise or proper nutrition, then the toxins will remain in your body. Which means the larger the butt, the more potential you have for bad health. Ladies don't fall for this hype, the key to good health is exercise and diet....not a big butt.

Doc if you had listened to what was said on the neews you would know that no one said that a big azz was the key to good health! What was said it looks like females with big butts seem to absorbed certain bad fats. But one thing they made clear was exercise and the right foods are the main key to good health. Get your facts straight...Ok.
Yeah and if your wondering I'm one of those females with a big azz. No way would I stop doin what I do to take care of myself because of this newest report.

Bro' don't hate just look and enjoy. The shape of women of color is the ultimate and most desired in all the world. There is nothing like a juicy azz bouncing and girating to music to bring out the primal man in any human male.

If a big ol' booty helps you live longer then I guess some black women will never die.

If this is true, then studies should show that black women live longer than white women.
