LOL That is exactly what i thought which is why i think the truth of that has been a bit .. streched ? Just like the "fact" i put down of right handed people living on average 9 years longer..I think thats a bit of a tiny white lie too.. Tbh i think it's all down to the way you live your life and the lifestyle of it. I.e Junk food -> A healthy balanced diet The healthier people would live longer Anyway science isn't always right And i know everyone has there opinion and that's mine so i don't mean to start anything by this if you have a different opinion |
