An Australian group of scientists have published the results of a new study in the October issue of The British Journal of Sports Medicine.
This then passes for “scientific research”!!!
From the New York Times:
…. Every single hour of television watched after the age of 25 reduces the viewer’s life expectancy by 21.8 minutes.
By comparison, smoking a single cigarette reduces life expectancy by about 11 minutes, the authors said. ……
Ah well! They are scientists, probably wear white coats and could not possibly be idiots.
