Research Log for Evidence Paper

1. Abel Romero-Corral, et al. "Body Composition and Heart Failure Prevalence and Prognosis: Getting  to the Fat of the Matter in the "Obesity Paradox." Mayo Clinic Proceedings 85.7 (2010): 605-608. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 2 Mar. 2011.

-This article explains some complications of heart failure related with obesity. It also gives an aspect of how a larger BMI can be sometimes healthier (a point I will most likely refute).

2. Srivastava, Tarak. "Nondiabetic Consequences of Obesity on Kidney". Pediatric Nephrology 21.4 (2006): 463-470. Springerlink.com. Web. 6. Mar. 2011.

-This article looks at the adverse side effects that obesity has on kidneys.  Though written about children, I think that it is applicable to adults also.
