    There is absolutely a healthiest weight (BMI 19-21), supported by mounds of science. Weight higher than the healthiest one causes poor CVD outcomes, higher cancer risk, depression, and many more. That is nearly a fact. Evidence: calorie restriction has a positive effect in laboratory settings. Population studies from questionnaires and direct weight measurement. Longitudinal studies for many decades.

    We should not shame anyone for their weight, nobody has to lose weight or do anything. But don’t spread misinformation like that, it’s just not true. Notice I’m not asking you for proof because it’s well established.
