It wouldn't even be worth arguing about except that there is harm in being silent about the aggressive shaming of people who go out of their way to excel in athletic pursuits. Those who don't, get a false sense of security and ignore more obvious and causal links to an early demise.

I thought that there was a pretty solid link to Heart problems?
The other thing you miss is that like most things in this world, there are winners and losers, the smart and the foolish. But, it really does seem like an abnormal number of high profile physique-type athletes (could be wrestlers, BB, powerlifting) meet an early death, often from Heart failure.
There is something to being able to monitor your health and having the means to watch it closely...Arnold can pay for the best Endocrinologists money can buy. Tino, who now works the door at SugarDaddy's Gentleman Club, might not have that luxury.
