I however still maintain that it's still the same factors, therefore, it's not junk science. Healthy lifestyles are not an 'urban legend'.
Related? I can find you someone who weighs 140 pounds and still dies of a heart attack from eatting too much of a certain kind of food. I can assure you they did not die of obesity. Just because someone weighs 250 lbs and dies from the same diet, that doesn't mean they died from obesity. Figuring it that way is indeed "junk science."
