Saw this on MSNBC nightly news tonight, thought I'd share - no article, just a video.

Jan. 6: Women's Health: Relying on your Body Mass Index reading isn't always a reliable indicator of overall health. NBC's Nancy Snyderman reports.

    This is where fat percentage is important. The healthy overweight woman obviously exercises and watches what she eats. The "healthy" BMI woman who isn't healthy probably doesn't exercise, etc. - causing her these problems.
