Some people have an "obese" BMI despite being healthy because they have a large frame and tons of muscle mass. Likewise some people have small frames and naturally gain little fat or muscle mass, and are erroneously classified as underweight according to BMI. How autistic do you have to be to say "duhhhhh this number is under an arbitrary cutoff point therefore its bad"??

my dad is 5'7" and around 135 pounds because he can't eat and is dying and he looks like a skeleton so gently caress you

Its just as retarded to say "that lanky guy's bmi is 14 he's sick and dying" as it is to say "that bodybuilder's bmi is 30, what a fatass."

Did you just miss the part where the guy in question is obviously malnourished, feels sick constantly and is suffering from chronic fatigue and headaches?

Sounds more like depression than malnutrition.

You're dumb.

:ohdear: : "Doctor, we have a patient in complaining of frequent headaches, fatigue and bouts of illness. Patient is 6'4" and weighs 120 pounds."

:pseudo: : "Hmm, sounds like he's depressed."

hmm heere is a truthbomb from nightshadefree.com

Isn't solanine the bogeyman of nightshade panic? That gets excreted and metabolized relatively quickly so it can't really build up to an appreciable level before it's out of your system.

that site tries to say that people get cancer from smoking tobacco because of solanine lol

No it's definitely not the myriad unstable organic compounds created by the combustion of the tobacco, it's definitely the thing whose toxicity is due to a very specific mechanism of action within the body's cells.

He's taking vitamins and supplements, so it's very unlikely that he's malnourished

This isn't an episode of House, you idiot. The most likely (by loving far) explanation for his condition is he's not getting sufficient nutrition, which him being very underweight for his height is a symptom of.
