And from the other end of the spectrum... My grandmother was raised in the
south before we knew some of the things we know now about nutrition, fat, etc.
Everything she ate as a child and cooked as an adult had bacon fat, butter,
cream etc. Many dishes were fried and/or had gravy on them. I think you get the
picture. She didn't "work out" and only received the exercise gained from house
and yard work. She wasn't obese, but she wasn't stick thin either. She was a
bit "fluffy" but by no means fat.
And she lived to be 103 with no major health problems. She drove her own car
well into her 90s and lived alone taking care of herself until she was 100. She
never lost her mental awareness until she had the stroke that killed her.
Genetics definitely plays a major role in things, as well.

Just to be contrary, I have to contrast my personal experience to these
findings. <more snip>
