Comment Re:Promiscuity (Score 1) 266
Whatever the merits of promiscuity, the TFA itself (or the research ) doesn't mention it!. Please, RTFA!
A careful reading of the summary (RTFS?) shows that:
The results add asthma to a catalog of undesirable outcomes, including obesity, diabetes, smoking, and promiscuity, tied to TV viewing."
So the evaluation of promiscuity seems to belong to the writer of the summary, or at least those they refer to.
I agree with what others have said here about correlation vs causation. There could be several explanations for the correlation, although sitting in front of the TV not exercising (and also exposing one self to household contaminants for longer) certainly seems a bad thing.
