There seems to be real differences between races in how body fat is stored and the types of body fat stored. This is important because if researchers are able to adjust their studies, then they will better reflect the obesity problem for each race. Currently, statistics could obfuscate real problems. This is an important study that should be embraced, despite its potential political problems for the safety of people and clarity of the research statistics.
