Comments on: Obesity in the Young Can Be Caused By Too Much Television https://www.doctortipster.com/20149-obesity-in-the-young-can-be-caused-by-too-much-television.html Medical Articles, Medical News, Medical Questions Mon, 16 May 2016 09:29:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.10 By: David Kleeman https://www.doctortipster.com/20149-obesity-in-the-young-can-be-caused-by-too-much-television.html#comment-284066 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 19:01:11 +0000 https://www.doctortipster.com/?p=20149#comment-284066 This article is full of misinformation, due to lack of research literacy. Most of the things you refer to as “cause” are actually “correlation.” Two things can exist together, but without one being caused by the other (for example, ice cream sales and murder both rise during the summer, but ice cream doesn’t cause killings). Most of the things cited – obesity, violence – have complex causes and roots.

Please consider pulling it down and reviewing the science, before selling fear and guilt to parents.
