LEFT-HANDED WOMEN DOOMED

Well, it's not that bad, but a new study indicates that life for lefty women isn't as peachy as it is for their right-handed sisters.

The Telegraph reports:

The researchers followed 12,178 middle-aged Dutch women for nearly 13 years, 252 of whom died.

When left-handed women were statistically compared with other women, the left-handers had 40 per cent more chance of dying from any cause, a 70 per cent higher risk of dying from cancer, and a 30 per cent higher risk of dying from diseases of the circulatory system.

Left-handed women also had twice as much chance of dying from breast cancer, nearly five times the risk of dying from colo-rectal cancer, and more than three times the risk of dying from a cerebrovascular condition.

It's all good, otherwise.
