If you've ever needed proof of junk science this is it.. Thanks to the "invention" of face book people now live longer.. same thing is happening with global warming... blame it on man, but it' s been getting warm since the last ice age.. you know back when sea levels were 25 feet higher than they are today..

'Those Facebook users, of all genders and ages, were born between 1945 and 1989. '
'If you accept all your Facebook friend requests, you’re probably expected to live longer. '
'Scientists who studied Facebook activity for more than a decade suggest that people who have strong social media networks and receive multiple friend requests are less likely to die. '
'In their study, Hobbs and Fowler took data over six months from 12 million California-based Facebook users in 2011 and compared them to records from the California Department of Public Health from 2012 to 2013 to check how many people died within those years. '
'The scientists concluded that there was no link between people’s health and the Facebook requests they have sent and those who accepted them.“You would think that the asso\xadci\xada\xadtion would go both ways,” Hobb said in the newsletter. “That was a dis\xadap\xadpointing finding because it sug\xadgests that telling people to go out and make more friends might not improve their health.”'
