  A few years back, there was a Straits Times article that revealed that different people have different capacity to metabolize fat. This is due to none other than hereditary factors. The liver has a fat-metabolising function which differs and its effectiveness in doing that differs in individuals.
  
  Which means, two people can sit down and tuck in to a bowl of pig's trotters and roast pork... one will be ok after eating it, the other would have a liver that'll be working very hard afterwards.
  
  Also, a person being fat or skinny is NOT a reflection of health... a skinny person could be walking around with a sky-high cholesterol level whilst the fat one may have normal cholesterol levels.
  
  That's life!

  I had one full bloodwork done about 1.5 years ago... everything was 'normal'. PHEW!
  
  Erm... forgot about one thing that was 'abnormal'... my BMI! hehehe! Was 'Overweight' until they changed the range. Now, I'm 'Obese'!
