Too much television can lead to heart attack

I needed to read this article.

in reference to:

"A report released in Australia has shown that there is a risk of death to people who view too much television. According to the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, every hour that viewers spend watching television increases the risk of premature death From a study of more than 8,000 adults in Australia, over a six-year period, findings have revealed that people who watch television the most die younger. So called "couch-potatoes," or people who watch four or more hours of television a day, have a 46 percent higher risk of death from all causes and an 80 percent increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease."
