TV Bad for Tots

Study:

The more television children watch between the ages of 1 and 3, the greater their risk of having attention problems at age 7, researchers reported on Monday.
They found that each hour of television that preschoolers watched per day increased the risk of attention problems such as attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, by almost 10 percent later on.
The study, published in the April issue of Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, adds inattention to the list of harmful effects of excessive television viewing that also includes obesity and violent behavior.

Huh?
