Of course, we were told earlier that "winning World Cup lowers heart attack deaths" http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/winning_world_cup_lowers_heart_attack.shtml whereas the "stress of watching the big game (Super Bowl) can be hazardous to heart" http://www.hpnonline.com/dailyupdates/February_08-1.htm#1-4 Both non-causal studies presented as causal in the media. As many of you know, you can find these and more on my correlation or causation page at http://jonathan.mueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/100/correlation_or_causation.htm I'm waiting for the vuvuzela studies.

>>> "Mike Palij" <[email protected]> 6/21/2010 8:42 PM >>> The Aetna Intellihealth website reports a news article from what appears to be a German news service reporting that German cardiologists warn that watching the World Cup on TV can cause a heart attack (note: a prior history of heart ailments seems to be necessary as well as an insanely fanatical addiction to soccer); see: http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/EMIHC267/333/20781/1369520.html?d=dmtICNNews I wonder if anyone has done any study on the number of heart attacks during the airing of "those" films on Skinmax. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
