BMI is a eugenicist tool created to calculate the weight of *populations,* not individuals. Even its creator said it shouldn’t be used to measure health. It only entered medical practice because American insurance companies wanted an easy tool for screening/denying claims.https://twitter.com/CakeNutrition/status/1401058532976377861 …

Wow, thanks for great alternate and considered viewpoint on BMI. I note doctors are kind of overwhelmed becuz flood of information/ research/ popular trends etc. Few doctors talk about good diet for example. Patients need good info to ask good questions and demand good medicine

it's so sad this is an all too common experience for indigenous people. I've point blank told my dr what I had yet they gave me some other prescription ignoring this and it was after test results, got a call to come back for another prescription for what I asked for in 1st place!
