I would think that people making “studies” all day are at a 57% increase at heat attacks and a 789% increase of having no friends.

In other irrelevant statistic news, approximately 50% of all married people are male.

Yeah, because it’s so much better to die from starvation ,cholera or AIDS at 25 years old than clogged arteries at 75.

Not only that, but people who have heart attacks usually have eaten one or more grains within a day of the heart attack. Ban Veganism!

Excellent point! I’d rather drop dead in front of my tv than in a mud hut in some turd world nation from malaria.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
I guess the folks with a TV and Car had heart attacks because they are out working hard for a living to pay for this stuff.

They are writing the content for curricula for teachers—to destroy logical thinking in our children—so we have a bunch of “useless idiots” incapable of coherent, analytical thinking.

More Junk Science.
This is most likely an observational study, not a randomized, prospective trial of tv and/or car ownership as it relates to health. (There is no link given at the article to the scientific paper).
In an observational study, correlation does not prove causation.
People who can afford cars and televisions (especially in countries aoutside the US) may also eat richer foods, drink more alcohol, smoke cigarettes, etc. The lack of controls and the multiple confounding factors invalidate the conclusions as presented.
It is impossible to control for these things in an observational study.

Likely an academic looking for publicity to drum up some funding for more needless research. reminds me of the study that said watching TV for x hours increases your mortality. the reasoning being that a sedentary lifestyle is damaging. the headline could've said reading for x hours is deadly, but that wouldn't be provacative enough and garner headlines. q

You beat me to it. The same people who would rather you eat dead weeds and mud rather than tasty animals.
To: AngelesCrestHighway
I guess that if you are so poor that you do not have either a TV or a car, you probably are dead from Typhoid Fever, Cholera, or dysentery long before you grow old enough to suffer a hart attack.
