A member asked:
Is being naturally underweight be hazardous to your health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big picture: "ideal weight" is pseudoscience and entertainment. Elite track athletes tend to be "underweight" by the book, as does justin bieber (photo) -- who's complaining? If you can compete in your favorite sport and feel good about yourself, your weight's probably fine for you.
