Obesity Without the Health Problems? There Could Be a Way

[Northerner]

Obesity is linked to the widespread epidemics of diabetes and heart disease that plague society, but a lesser-known fact is that the weight can also lead to autoimmune disease. Now, researchers have new information about how that damaging immune response happens and how it might be stopped, published on April 4 in Cell Reports, a Cell Press publication.

The key, they show, may be to block an important element known as AIM (for apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage) in the bloodstream and, ultimately, the production of antibodies that attack the self.

Wondering if this would then give out the message that to be obese is ok which is a concern I guess if I have read this right!

Liked this at the bottom of it though any takers?

Miyazaki's team says that human studies are needed to pursue the development of a new AIM-targeted obesity therapy
