Scientists say that a big behind might be a good thing, but…
Researchers have known for some time that fat that collects in the abdomen — known as visceral fat — can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease, while people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.
Huh? Don’t most people have both? I don’t recall ever seeing a “pear-shaped” person with a flat tummy.

I’ve seen quite a few women with a flat or nearly flat stomach and a large behind.

While most women collect fat predominantly in stomach, butt, and thighs, they also seem to have sort of a “priority” as to where it collects fastest.
My wife’s stomach comes & goes, but her butt & thighs are quite stubborn about holding on to what they’ve got.
Which is fine by me, since I like curves
