Facebook, MySpace et al can give you a heart attack, cancer

February 19, 2009 By Kunal Gangar 1 Comment

As it may sound absurd to you and me, the researchers certainly have a different opinion. Often visiting social networking sites can increase the risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease or even dementia. Their justification, you ask? It’s actually the same thing – isolation, that has also been linked to the increasing use of emails, gaming before.

“Increased isolation could alter the way genes work and upset immune responses, hormone levels, and the function of arteries. It could also impair mental performance, which could increase the risk of problems as serious as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and dementia” said a doctor.

Somehow, I agree with the researcher. There are chances of getting a stroke when you know, you’re divorced via such social networking sites.
