I hope my previous letter on obesity did not offend anyone. That was not 
my intent. Is there any sociological literature on the subject?
Also I misquoted that Doctor, where I said HDL (which is actually good 
cholesterol) I meant to put LDL (low Density Lypoprotiens, bed 
cholesterol). Sorry folks, the doctor DID INDEED MAKE SUCH OFFENSIVE 
REMARKS, she could have at least used the word "Obese" instead of "Fat" Are 
there any thoughts on why obesity studies tend to be targeted at women?

Sincerely,

David Coon
