"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
A new study finds grandparents who care for a grandchild just a few hours a week have an increased risk of heart disease.
The study of 54,000 women found those who cared for a grandchild just nine hours a week had a 55 percent higher risk of problems like heart attack compared to women who didn't care for a grandchild.
Hard to tell how significant that "55 percent increase" is without the raw data. The study is supposedly somewhere in this journal, although I couldn't find it. posted by Sydney on
