The Truth About Fat Everything you need to know about fat by WebMD

"Another great point by Laci: You can’t tell how healthy someone is just by looking at them. It’s well-known fact that extra weight increases health risks, but there could be underlying health conditions that someone is dealing with that you don’t know about—not to mention that the type of fat also has a lot to do with it. Visceral fat, which wraps around your organs, is higher risk than subcutaneous fat, which is under your skin."
