Body Types and AIDS

While reading the "Mind Your Body" publication today, I came across an interesting article entitled "Born to have a Bulging Belly" *laughs in an evil tone and looks around* which looks at the genetics of fat. It uses the story of a secondary school girl who says she is "just born fat". She mentions that she never looses weight even though she was in her netball team back in school and resorts to avoiding wearing shorts to hide her "thunder thighs" *I remember my pastor said something about this too*

The next interesting thing was about some accepted medical truths in the medical community regarding the three main body types:

  1. Ectomorphs: who are thing and lean and take longer to gain muscle
  2. Mesomorphs: *sounds like Meso Soup* who are more muscular and hard-bodies and gain muscle easily.
  3. Endomorphs: who have a soft body with underdeveloped muscles and gain fat easily.

Isn't it just interesting? Why don't we play some game here. I list the names and you go ahead and see if each fits which?

  • Daniel Lin
  • Chen Jinfu
  • 9k
  • 4Tuna
  • LN
  • Jason Loo
  • Ben Oh
  • Gerard
  • Meiju
  • Fiona
  • Yuhong
  • Alex
  • CJ
  • Kenny
  • Jessica
  • Ernest

Have Fun!!!! Tag the names and the classification (1, 2 or 3) and see if there will be a debate or not.

Also in another article about AIDS, it is said that mosquitoes do not transmit AIDS because the virus in the blood goes into its stomach and is digested and killed! I was like WHAT! Why don't scientists then study about the kind of thingy that goes inside the stomach so we can replicate the kind of system in the human body and eradicate AIDS once and for all *although this has the consequence of encouraging casual sex everywhere which can be really morally wrong*

Darnie the article-list signing off! Vrroooooooommmm.....
