BBC News:
Body fat found under the skin - and particularly on the buttocks - may help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, research suggests.
The study contrasts this subcutaneous fat with visceral fat, which is wrapped around the organs, and raises the risk of ill health.
It is thought subcutaneous fat may produce hormones known as adipokines which boost the metabolism.
The Harvard Medical School study appears in the journal Cell Metabolism.

All right, some good news for me!
And to think, it wasn't long ago that a big bottom was a badge of shame. Black women must be feeling pretty vindicated.
gotta keep in mind the kind of fat the article refers to. and its about genetics as well...
but i gotta say....
THAT WHITE GIRL GOT ARSE on that pic up there... thats as rare as a canary diamond...

A big a$$ is a good sign for your health?
I'm gonna live forever!!
Seriously, I have no stomach, but my thighs and, um, derriere are......c
Those aren't big bootys in the pictures. They're just normal women.
considering Harvard turns out most of the crimanls and corrupt CEO's and leaders in our country, I dont know if would place to much trust in anything from Harvard. They teach greed and winning at all cost. Not truth and ethics and making things better for the country as a whole. Its the ME ME ME school. But most people with IQ's over 3 know that.
As for a healthy booty being healthy, I totally agree. A nice booty is healthy. To much is put on breast these days. Booty is where its at.
I think that you're thinking of Yale! Bush went to Yale!
He also went to harvard business school. Look it up. He went to both Yale and Harvard.
Good lawd... is that really Jessica Biel? Wow, I had no idea she was packin' that much a$$!
That's hot!
yes, her booty is quite impressive
... her talent and personality ... not so much
Where have you been, man? I've been staring at that for years now.
Where your fat goes is a matter of genetics, not choice, as far as I can tell. I am thankful that I do not have a big butt, frankly.

That's the truth. I guess I'll never have to worry about diabetes..
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
you beat me to it.....
Me personally I like shapely women. The "skinny, pubecent, boy look" like Cameron Diaz is unattractive. Famous shapely women:
Vivica A. Fox
Gisele Buchen
Jennifer Lopez
Angela Bassett
Tyra Banks
Jessica Alba
Golden Brooks
.....to name few
And even as an Obama supporter, I can Hillary is a shapely women
To CatfishandGrits,
I was speaking with an older man about the current primaries and he sat back in his chair and sighed, lamenting that Hillary was once so beautiful. He was not talking about her getting older, rather he was upset that she dresses and styles her hair like a man. I remember when Hillary was turning people out with her suited skirts, high heels, and wide hips.
Maybe after she withdrawals as a candidate she will fem-up again.
