"This one thing may derail your shot at healthy aging, scientists say"
Even the LA Times engages in clickbaity headlines.
The scientist only found a correlation, not causation. The article even states:
"The study didn’t show that excess TV time **caused** any of the nurses to miss out on healthy aging, only that there was a significant inverse **correlation** between the two. Still, there’s good reason to suspect that their favorite sedentary behavior bore at least some of the responsibility."
(Emphasis added.)
The last sentence is just a feeble attempt at justifying their headline.
Shame on the LA Times (@latimes). Is it any mystery that every time a newspaper says "trust us!," I go 🙄.

Hmm.... :catthinking: Hiki was there before this app, but they don't even mention it.
I call this shitty journalism.
