YATSASS - Yet Another True Story About Stupid Studies

Birth Month May Influence Brain Cancer Risk: NEW YORK (Reuters Health)

"...Their study of brain cancer patients and cancer-free adults the same age found that the risk of developing the disease appeared highest for people born in January or February and lowest for those born in July or August.

And for reasons that are unclear, the association between birth season and cancer risk was most pronounced among people who were left-handed or ambidextrous -- with those born in the late fall through early spring having a greater risk.

However, the researchers stress that left-handed winter babies should not find the study results alarming. "

That would be because left-handed winter babies are too little to read? Or because studies like this are full of the same material that the diapers of left-handed winter babies are filled with?
