    Default nutrition

    This is an 8 year old article, and though it's long, is well worth reading for anyone interested in the food they eat and what it may do to them.
    This blog is also fascinating.

    I read that article, and a few others, then I bought the book by John Gabriel (many chapters of which need to be taken with a helping of salt). Fascinating stuff. Makes me wish I studied bio-chem at school. One of my workmates did study bio-chem; funny that he has a BMI considerably lower than I.

    BMI's are funny things, I'm apparently quite obese, (along with all rugby forwards)
    Would that be celtic sea salt, or iodised, anticaked table salt?

    AFAIK BMI's were first calculated by actuaries, not medical personnel, for the purpose of calculating life insurance risks.

    Just as an aside, when I was sent down to the gym by my phsyio for workouts for lower back pain, they did a general fitness check, inc BMI.

    Seems I was in Olympic athlete class
