Study casts doubt on 'healthy obesity'

My doubt is on the researchers criteria to identify “healthy” obesity. One of their criteria of health is whether someone has been diagnosed diabetic. Unfortunately, most of us are unhealthy for decades with unstable blood sugar and raging hyperinsulinemia before finally crossing the threshholds needed to be recognized as diabetic. And there is so much evidence the standard measures of cholesterol are a poor measure of health.
