I don't wanna die early!!

I was sufing the net today since I was really really really bored trying to see something weird or read some interesting facts. Then i came across something from the so called "funny facts" that really caught my attention because it has something to do with me. ^^

"Left-handed people live slightly shorter lives than right-handed people."

Ok, I know we shouldn't trust anything form the internet unless the information is from a really reliable source. But i wouldn't take any chances for this one because i'm a lefty myself. All my sisters are left-handed.

So I googled "left-handed life span" and found some information about it. Apparently research showed statistics that are true to the fact that left-handed people often die early due to sickness and they have approx. 7-9 years shorter life span than right-handed people. Then I also read something about the left-handed women having shorter life spans. Reading all those REALLY starts to worry me. i mean...I DON'T WANNA DIE EARLY!

Then I continue my search and read that this fact have been proven wrong and the experiments done is not of 'good quality', so the conclusions are not likely to be valid.  Plus, people back in my parents days are "trained" to use their right hand to write and so they are forced to "become right-handers" (Just like my mom. Now she writes with her right hand but does everything else left-handed). So i think this make the statistics not accurate at all. Another problem with this hypothesis is the lack of an explanation of how handedness shortens life. If i learn to write with both hands doesn't mean that I can live double my lifetime, right?

Phew!! I'm relief now..This hypothesis is really weak so all i need to do now is enjoy life to the fullest! yeay~ i'm proud to say i'm a left-handed gal (actually I never said that it was a bad thing >.< )
