im not worried about cancer, or homelessness or family breakup, or drinking, i was asking a fcuking question linked to an article that i gave a link to if people bother to read it here, THATS WHY I asked, i think the article is talking bullocks so wanted clarification. geez. ask a simple question get a stupid answer.
the article also said it was linked to strokes which i think is bullocks too, you'd think news writers would have some sort of scientific knowledge before misquoting stuff.
