It's "news" because it links a certain body shape/type to increased heard disease. Just because it may not apply to you doesn't make it less important. FTA: even among men of normal weight, heart disease risk was higher for those with bigger bellies.
Breaking news! Scientists are reporting that gravity is, in fact, the leading cause of seniors falling over and being unable to get up. Details at eleven.
I think it is because sometimes these articles are being presented as if the information is new and groundbreaking, when in fact it is just old news. But if you don't want to read it again, then don't. No one is "forcing" anyone to read something.

@siliconskaterJust because the "digg it" extension put "-Yahoo! News" their for you, it is really an unnecessary addition to the title.

When the next ice age hits all those fatties are the ones that are going to survive it-- so they will have the last laugh.

I did RTFA, and that in itself is nothing new. Again, No s**t Sherlock. I think the NEJoM published a study about "belly" fat back a decade ago.

Sorry, Yahoo, but this is not new news. Regardless, it is still good for people to know the risk.
