Health Buzz: HIV's Origin and Other Health News

Dr. Larry of IL is a racist for suggesting those of African descent had sex with chimps and that that is the beginning of AIDS. Dr. Larry provides ZERO factual evidence for his claim that africans had sex with monkeys and only shows himself to be a hopeless bigot.

Dr. Larry is probably a 15 y/o kid who has doesnt realize how ignorant his comments make him sound.

I thought HIV was invented by the US government to kill black people? Jeremiah Wright is an esteemed scholar and this is his theory.

My theory is similar to the theory arrived at by the scientists in this article although I believe the HIV virus came from chimpanzees through sexual contact and not through the eating of said monkeys.

I think the first person means that immigrants have more obesity compared to their counterparts in their home country not compared to Americans - this is true. Immigrants tend to adopt an Americanized diet, gain weight and have higher rates for obesity and diseases associated with it. It makes sense that this is a factor in why their babies are larger, posing a problem for a women with a small pelvis.

Wow...

This is to whomever wrote that first comment...WTF?

Immigrants have more obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and vascular disorder? Please, tell me you are not from America because if you are, you are BLIND. America is probably the fattest country in the world, and for you to try and analyze how immigrants overeat in America and pump out fat kids with small frames is just ignorant. Maybe the combination of a small framed woman and a larger framed man produced a medium framed baby in which was more difficult to give birth to. Notice how Asian male and White female combinations didn't have the same problem.

Bottomline: Stick your foot in your mouth.

Okay

You speak from a position of extreme ignorance. It would be best if you perhaps kept your absurd viewpoints to yourself and maybe instead read a book that wasn't authorized by Doctor Seuss.

No Offense

I am a product of an Asian woman and a White man, and it didn't take a scientific study to realize Asian women are smaller than the typical white woman. This was a DUH moment in news history.

Inter racial couples and babies

Inter racial marriage has nothing to do with it.Immigrants have more obesity,, diabetes, hypertension, Atherosclerotic vascular disorder. They come to USA and start eating like local public partly ethenic food not available and partly high meat and fat is sign of being rich as compared to their counter part in home land. They become fat but bony structure remains the same. Their babies get bigger. Complication of pregnancy and C-Section go up.
