Deep into reading research articles for the dreaded "Plan B" and came across an amusing article citation today....one that is perhaps quite fitting considering we are just post the holiday season gluttony:
"Contributions of regional adipose tissue depots to plasma lipoprotein concentrations in overweight men and women: possible protective effects of thigh fat."
I believe they find a postive correlation between thigh fat and HDL (the good cholesterol).
If you are interested you may find this article in Metabolism 1991; 40 733-720, authors: Terry, Stefanick, Haskell, and Wood.
Now we don't have to feel so bad about ourselves for eating all those See's chocolates over Christmas....
