At least we are all dying while entertained.

I’m actually currently binge-watching a fantastic show on Netflix called American Vandal, but even this new study won’t keep me away from it. But this is what a new study has found: tons of hours of binge-watching has been linked to an increased risk of dying from inflammatory diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes, according to an Australian study. Well damn.

The study, published in the journal of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, involved more than 8,900 adults and found that for each additional hour of TV viewing was associated with a 12 percent increased risk of inflammatory-related death. The study also found that people who spent more than four hours a day watching TV were at a higher risk. So it seems like a lot of us are screwed.
