The Research Report: A Look at Studies on MS, Mosquitoes and Sugar's Effect on Cholesterol - WSJ.com: Each additional hour of weekly preschool TV corresponded to a 10% increase in 'victimization'—how often the child was teased, insulted and physically harassed by other students. And preschool television was also linked to poorer health in fourth grade: Children who watched the most also ate the fewest fruits and vegetables and the most soft drinks, and were more likely to be overweight."
Comment -- It seems to me that it's more logical to conclude that children who are teased, insulted and harassed by other students are likely to react by watching more TV -- rather than the other way around.
