I Love The Brits
But sometimes they are sort of crazy. I think only a British newspaper would go into this level of detail about Madonna's health and beauty regime.
"Madonna's leg veins could be a result of her exceptionally low level of body fat, which would make veins more prominent..."
Madonna's leg veins? Seriously?

lol that's nothing, you obv haven't seen Heat magazine
UK journalism is really in a class of its own, I think you'll find.
Just a comment on the Brit standards vs. US standards. American "standards" -- oft quoted in the media coverage of our "obesity epidemic" -- are that women should have 18% - 25% body fat for optimum "health". The Brits say 23% - 33% is appropriate. Hmmmmm...

I dunno about in the US, but here in the UK, BMI is usually used as a measure of obesity, not % body fat.
Madonna doesn't have a health and beauty "regime." She has a health and beauty "regimen." A regimen is "a regulated system, as of diet, therapy, or exercise, intended to promote health or achieve another beneficial effect." A regime is a "mode or system of rule or management; character of government, or of the prevailing social system."
