Am I the only person here that realizes that the chart says nothing about people who have a BMI between 18.5 and 25, which is what is considered to be healthy? Jesus Christ...Im dumb but even I see this. The person that wrote the line at the top of the chart is a fucking idiot. You cannot compare underweight and overweight, and use those results to say that overweight people live longer than normal weight

"Thousands of excess deaths in 2004, compared with normal weight." The chart uses normal people as a baseline.
