Left-handed women have higher risk of breast cancer

[originalbuckeye]

My mom was left-handed. She passed away a year ago just one month shy of her 81st birthday. The scaremongers will try anything to frighten us!

[dsrtsage]

women and minorities hardest hit

[NY Attitude]

Some say that left handed women are in their right mind. 8^).

[fkabuckeyesrule]

My oldest sister is left handed. As am I. She’s like 60 something.

Risk of death is 100% for everyone.

But perhaps it's true that left-handed women have shorter life expectancies. We should ask the actuaries.

[Cicero]

I’m curious whether left-handed men are at greater risk.

Did this study omit men because they are not at risk, or more likely because in this feminist age, nobody cares?

[Betteboop]

OK..I’m left-handed as is my younger daughter, her boyfriend, my husband, my son-in-law. Only my older daughter is right handed......this is BS.....maybe we all ought to be studied!!

[EGPWS]

Left-handed women are at a higher risk of dying, particularly from cancer and circulatory diseases, a study has suggested.

Oh..oh, another "right" wing conspiracy?

[Petronski]

Isn’t the risk of death 100% for everyone?

[Liberty Valance]

My wife and I are both left-handed. We had hopes for our son but he’s a righty. ;o)

[go-dubya-04]

Hmmm. Where does this leave me? I write and eat right-handed but throw, play tennis and hit left-handed. Right-handed but left-armed?

[EGPWS]

The study could not pinpoint the mechanism for the increased risk,...

Well then by golly, lets all get our wallets out and keep this study going so perhaps someday we can cure death. ; )

[HungarianGypsy]

hmm. what of those who are left handed, but were trained right handed?

[berkeleybeej]

May I recommend to you all a book “Sinestral People”. Left handed women tend to think more like right handed men. Handedness is a subject I have been most interested in. Of course there are varients in handedness. The way we hold the writing implements, mixed dominents...

Anyway, you will find that there is a marked difference in IQ and social abilities with the left handed as opposed to the righties.

[perfect stranger]

The research I have seen regarding this parity shows that the majority of people are right-handed, at least 3-1 odds.

I would conclude by telling you that it is very easy to lie with numbers.

It was only a matter of time until the political left ran out of ideas and causes, but their shortsighted observations will continue.

Are left handed people the new minority that everybody has to make room for?

[California74]

When left-handed women were statistically compared with other women, the left-handers had 40 per cent more chance of dying from any cause

And right handed women don't die?

I know what they meant, but... LOL.

I'm left-handed, by the way, and I figure I'll probably die from clumsiness.

[Swan]

It happens when you live in a right-handed world.

[norwaypinesavage]

This study simply proves that older people are more apt to die than younger people. Older left handed people were very likely forced to change to right hand when they were young. They may not even remember being changed. Therefore, fewer older people who are left handed are dying, because there aren’t very many of them, so the average age of left handers who die is lower.

[uscabjd]

What selective pressures caused left handers to be 1/10 of the population? Why not 50/50?
