Standing and Dying Link

Here's a sane look at some of the recent headlines about the mortality of sitting.

I find it interesting how many people will gravitate towards studies and conclusions that support their own preconceived bias. Extrapolation of data has its limits.

Using some of the logic I have encountered recently, I have six conclusions about these studies:

1. Standing Desks are healthier than traditional desks
2. Lying Down Desks are healthier than traditional desks
3. Swimming Desks are healthier than traditional desks
4. Hyperbolic Chamber Desks¹ are healthier than traditional desks
5. Drinking Desks are healthier than traditional desks
6. Sitting under your desk reading mortality studies is healthier than traditional desks

If you are a guy looking for something to fret about, here's something with a much better set of studies to support extrapolation.
