Furthermore, a recent study by Standord proves Mercola correct.
(Where'd the ducks go!). In fact I'm listening to the professor from
Standford who conducted this study on local Bay Area Talk910 right now.
Here's the news release on the study:

Fellow sitters, according to Dr. Mercola, we should get up every 15
minutes and do some exercise. This is more important, he says, than
exercising 2 or 3 times per week! Plus everyone should be doing a
balance of aerobics, stretching and weight training. In terms of
maintenance, this vehicle is more work than my car!

I was checking out the FFL web viewer to see if it still worked and
saw this complete non-sequitur flash by and the science writer in me
just had to comment, for several reasons:
1. The statistic is false -- over 5 million people worldwide die every
year from smoking-related diseases.
2. The "either quit smoking or..." phrase is retarded. Last I checked,
anyone who dies quits smoking. :-)
3. According to the respected British medical journal "The Lancet,"
there is a much more critical risk factor for early death that people
don't know about. The Lancet researchers call this cause of death a
"global pandemic," and state clearly that -- worldwide -- it causes
far more deaths from all causes every year than smoking. Furthermore,
I would imagine that few -- if any -- people on this forum smoke, but
most -- if not *all* -- of the people on this forum exhibit the
behavior that has been shown to be a greater risk factor for early
death than smoking -- inactivity. If you sit for more than eight hours
per day, you are medically "inactive," and risking death.
Have a nice day... :-)
