May 5, 2006 -- LONDON - Kids who are overweight or obese by age 11 are likely to carry their excess weight into adulthood, researchers report today.
The study found plump kids at age 11 generally did not slim down over five years of follow-up.

Shame that these "researchers" were never in school or around youngsters, themselves. We all remember the short kids who sprouted, and the chubby ones who lost the baby fat. Boys in particular undergo an amazing metamorphosis when that iddy biddy hormone called testosterone really kicks in, but I guess they've never heard tell of such goings on.
Brit "studies". 'Nuff said.
