… and why body weight scales are a biomarker to evolve away from as health improves.
Image: Bouguer’s gravity anomaly shows, the pull of the earth varies considerably by region.

Ha! Illinois/Indiana/Ohio, Franko - my old stomping grounds, being a northeastern Ohio boy for much of my life… Unreal.
Isn’t this wrong? “Newton’s apple (and you) weigh 0.5% more at the poles than at the equator.” If there’s a bulge at the equator, doesn’t this mean there’s more mass there, so therefore you’d weigh more?
Apparently, the force depends on the distance between the centres of mass. So at the equator we are a tad further from the centre of the earth, and hence weigh a tiny bit less.
This must explain why I always weigh more at the doc’s. My scale is on the equator…?
Sorry partner but those variations are on the scale of millgals—- a thousandth of a centimeter per sec per sec.
Total gravitational pull is like 9.8 metered/s/s or 980 cm/s/s so even a variation of 100 Milligal is like 0.1 cm/s/s and 0.1 divided by 980 doesn’t show up on anybody’s scale used to measure peoples’ weight…
Of course i assume you meant this to be humorous!!
Sorry but way global planet crazy over my head.
my weight fluxes cause I eat damn fast food burgers on the road 
Cause I am not drinking enough water?
Cause I am eating restaurant filled chem. crap?
Who knows what that was cooked in?
I think that applies to ANY area of the world I would be currently located in 
but if I fly to ??? and weigh 1/2 lb more, OK I will remember that FB said I would be heavier in this realm of the globe and then I can relax, be calm, it is all cool 
I am moving there RIGHT now!
