Hi Chuin:

I almost always end up with a big smile on my face after reading your

posts. Including, especially, this one!

I agree with the point you make. But the study appears to go much

further than that. They do not limit their observations regarding

LBM and BP only to stress-related spikes in BP.

They very specifically stated that: " The BP levels and changes were

positively correlated with LBM. " So they found that the ***levels***

of BP are also positively correlated with LBM.

If one does not have a material BP problem (and the vast majority on

CRON will not have) then having more LBM than is absolutely necessary

presumably does not much matter.

But this has now raised my curiosity regarding the relationships, if

any, between LBM and other serious health problems, cancer for

example (after controlling for BF%, which may be tricky to do because

they are fairly well correlated with each other). I wonder if there

are any studies that have satisfactorily examined this.
