Baby Got Back? Women With Big Butts Are Healthier And Smarter According To Science

According to a new study done by scientists from the University of Oxford, women with larger butts are healthier and smarter than those with a smaller sized backside.

The scientists who conducted the research into the size of a woman’s butt basically came to the conclusion that “not all fat is created equal.” Those women who tend to carry fat in their butts and thighs(often know as pear-shaped), rather than their bellies (apple-shaped) have lower levels of cholesterol and are more likely to produce hormones that metabolize sugar. This means these women have decreased rates of diabetes and heart disease.

According to ABC News, researchers analyzed data from 16,000 women and found that “women with more fat on the buttocks have lower levels of cholesterol and glucose” as well as higher leptin levels, a hormone responsible for weight regulation.
