So That's What's Behind That Belly Bulge!

So, it looks like it is a hormone change, not age, that causes post-menopausal women to get a little bulge around the belly. At least, this is according to a study by the Rush University Medical Center and published in the journal Obesity. The study showed that the level of testosterone that is active in the body was the strongest predictor of visceral, or "belly," fat.

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. Glad its not due to my chocolate eating!
