PEOPLE who have upbeat outlooks on life have significantly better cardiovascular health, suggests a new study that examined associations between optimism and heart health in more than 5,100 adults.

“Individuals with the highest levels of optimism have twice the odds of being in ideal cardiovascular health compared to their more pessimistic counterparts,” said lead author Rosalba Hernandez, a professor of social work at the University of Illinois. “This association remains significant, even after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and poor mental health.”

The problem we have these days is that universities and other related groups actively solicit lucrative federal grants and they will fudge data, select certain demographics and otherwise create a glitzy report that will keep the funds flowing for as long as it takes and come up with the conclusion that the funding paid for.

I'm very optimistic, but very drunk. You suppose they cancel each other?
