A new UC Davis study "shows that not all obesity is the same and some body fat may actually be toxic."
Once again it appear that the conventional wisdom that all fat is the same comes up short. The UC Davis researchers have found the fat cells of people suffering for metabolic syndrome are physiologically different from the fat cells of obese people who do not have metabolic syndrome.

Authors, acknowledging that behavior modification (i.e. dieting) doesn't work, stated that "researchers need to address the dysfunction of fat cells, using existing or novel drug therapies to block the production of damaging biomarkers." In plain English that doctors need to find a way to treat the pathology not just tell people to loose weight.
Good job UC Davis -- keep up the good work
