Obese individuals suffer less from osteoporosis than their thin counterparts. Stop to think about it for a minute and it makes sense. The excess weight carried by obese individuals must be supported by their skeletal structure. The body lays down more bone mass in response to the weight-bearing stimulus, thus reducing age-related bone loss (osteopenia or osteoporosis). In contrast, many cancers, heart conditions, and diabetes are exacerbated by obesity and unhealthy eating habits.
