One of the debates about our mass media is how much they should hype new scientific studies. An article caught my eye the other day on yet another scientific study, published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, that for the first time found the act of sitting to be a risk factor for disability.
Now, it's an initial study and it did not get anywhere close to proving that sitting causes a disability, nor did it rule out that having a disability causes people to be less active. However, I found it interesting. Details are in a fairly comprehensive Reuters article here: http://www.reuters.com/...
