LoL <-- this is supposed to make everything alright! Sorry, I was just quoting an article I saw in a magazine over the weekend. In a girly magazine, mind you, I think they're pretty braindulling themselves. Let's see if I can find it...
Found it! It's a bit snoring but its EVIDENCE that I was just quoting.
Do Soaps & Talk Shows Dull The Brain? Or Do Dull Brains Just Like Soaps & Talk Shows?
March 20, 2006 Researchers studying the TV viewing habits of elderly women suggest there is a link between watching soap operas and TV talk shows and declining mental capacity. They add, however, that it's not clear whether watching these shows cause the dip in brainpower, or people with weaker cognitive abilities simply find these shows appealing.
The research was carried out at the City University of New York by assistant professor Joshua Fogel and colleagues. Fogel obtained a federal grant for the study to determine what impact, if any, television has on the brains of older women, many of whom spend several hours a day watching TV.
Fogel said he became intrigued with the question after reviewing previous studies that looked at possible connections but failed to reach a conclusion.
In Fogel's study, researchers reviewed findings from a 1996 study of healthy women in Baltimore aged 70-79. The researchers tried to determine the women's favorite types of shows, asking them to choose from more than a dozen types. At the same time, all the participating women were tested for decision-making abilities and other cognitive skills.
Fogel said women who watched talk shows were seven times more likely to have long-term memory problems. The cognitive decline was even worse for soap opera fans, who were 13 times more likely to experience memory problems.
However, the study doesn't address cause and effect. Fogel said it is possible that people with cognitive impairment find it difficult to watch other types of programming. But Fogel also thinks it's possible that viewing shows that require little or no mental engagement might lead to a cognitive decline in older women.
I LOVE Spanish soaps, but for some reason I can't get into this one. I find it kinda dry & so slow, it bores me.NO it is really nice, it would get better Anyhow why does it say that "Eduardo Yanez" returns with something back to the soaps?? What's his deal??

Nevermind, it's Mexican, isn't it? I'm actually gonna blame novelas for my relationship problems. After years and years of exposure to novelas, I tend to repeat the drama. Ugh! The novela made me do it! It's the devil's work, I tells ya!
Yah but Mexican novelas are good though...ummm but they are a tad overdrammatic.they have the best stories....Maybe you should try the VENEZOLANA NOVELAS..they usually are funny/comedic and not so much drama....I defenately dont like these novelas made in the states (miami) ...they suck!...like GATA SALVAJE...
