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!

That you run across people that smoked like chimneys and live into their 90s doesn't mean smoking doesn't kill a lot of people. Individual anecdotes don't beat masses of evidence.

I'm left handed, but male.

My mom was also left handed, and passed away at the age of 88. I am left handed. Wait, I’ve got a pain in my chest...BRB

One of my daughters is left-handed. She is a mirror-image twin, so she has the same genetic make-up as her sister.

They are only 10, and alive and kicking. However, she did almost die as a baby. She was on a ventilator for a month, and her sister was on one for a week. She is also about 10 pounds heavier than her sister. I almost wonder if that has something to do with it. Maybe left-handed women are not as active (something to do with how active they are).

Do left-handed women really have a risk of death greater than 100%?

But if she had been right handed she would have lived to be 101.
