TV will literally KILL YOU
I already made a post for today, but the wording of this article is too funny.
Australian researchers tracked the lifestyle habits of 8,800 adults and found that each hour spent in front of the television daily was associated with: • an 11 percent increased risk of death from all causes, • a 9 percent increased risk of cancer death; and • an 18 percent increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related death.
Yes, increased risk of death from ALL CAUSES! Don’t look for what all the causes are, they aren’t explained. Just insert whatever causes you can think of, from drowning in molten chocolate to being stabbed. Even being fused to your couch.
An important thing to note is:
This association held regardless of other independent and common cardiovascular disease risk factors, including smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, unhealthy diet, excessive waist circumference, and leisure-time exercises.
Yeah, that stuff isn’t important to one’s health or anything. What the hell is correlation?
