Unwashed.
This was an extraordinarily interesting risk assessment for many major diseases.
Interestingly, I was classified as low or very low risk for most of the classic diseases associated with obesity (heart disease & diabetes) and only a moderate risk for stroke (family history).
My highest risks were cancer risks related to diet, which rather surprised me. My 370 +/- lbs didn't seem to factor in very much at all for any of the diseases.
It basically reaffirmed what I already knew--I need to increase fish & vegetable intake. I did not realize my salt intake affects certain cancer risks, so that one was a surprise to me.
