Medical news of the obvious
Four items that need no explanation or comment:
- People who have steady, dependable jobs are more mentally healthy that those whose jobs may be in jeopardy, according to a new WHO report.
- Women who binge drink are at greater risk of unsafe sex, according to the journal Alcoholism.
- Women who are bulimic in pregnancy are more anxious and depressed than pregnant women without eating disorders. At least in Norway.
- People with a family history of cancerous brain tumors are at higher risk of developing those tumors than people with no family history, Neurology reports.

keep up the good work. this stuff is freakin' hilarious. i think all the time when i read article conclusions how some of them are so completely obvious that they're really a waste of time unless you're just trying to get some statistics to back things up.
Thanks, tantheman! Feel free to pass 'em along when you run across those painfully obvious studies-- we'll give you full credit (and our undying gratitude).
