TV health hazards?
May 31st, 2009 | 
Author: I've just read the yahoo news article on health hazards TV can cause. If you havn't read it here's part of it:
:: Early childhood television viewing may be a trigger for autism.
:: Permanent eyesight damage has been strongly linked to TV watching.
:: Viewing TV may be a bigger factor in causing obesity than diet or exercise.
:: The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease increases with each extra daily hour of television viewing among people aged 20 to 60.
:: TV viewing is associated with irregular sleeping patterns among infants and toddlers.
:: Watching television significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
After reading this I was shocked. Surely not all of this can be true. Watching too much TV can cause irregular sleeping patterns, can cause eye cancer and can also, through lack of excercise, lead to obesity but I don't see how it can also trigger autism, increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes.
Any answers?
