Are You Fat on the Inside?

Quote:
Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding vital organs like the heart, liver or pancreas ? invisible to the naked eye ? could be as dangerous as the more obvious external fat that bulges underneath the skin.

"Being thin doesn't automatically mean you're not fat," said Dr. Jimmy Bell, a professor of molecular imaging at Imperial College, London. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat.
