Large Fat Tongues
I've noticed more TV presenters and celebrities who have large fat tongues. This makes them talk in a characteristic and noticeable way (lispy, if you like). For example, TV chefs Jamie Oliver and Allegra McEvedy.
And then coincidentally, while watching a BBC documentary called The Men Who Made Us Fat, the presenter Jacques Peretti also had a large fat tongue. A doctor put him in an MRI machine and examined how much internal (visceral) fat he had. Peretti is a classic example known as a TOFI; thin outside fat inside.
Has there been any studies that have linked fat people (either obese, overweight or TOFI's) with having large fat tongues? Can the presence of having a large fat tongue be a predictor that someone has, or could have, a dangerous amount of fat in their bodies?
Apparently, Hong Kong people look healthy but in actual fact many of them as classic TOFI's (see post here).
Food for thought !!
