Hi Netters,
I just noticed a study on the Reuter's news on the web about the effect
of perceived warmth of a parent's love on their child's health 35 years
later. The study was published in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine
(1997;20(1):1-13).  The study showed that 91% of the college men who
began in the study 40 years ago who reported that they did not have a
close relationship with their mothers developed coronary artery disease,
duodenal ulcer, high blood pressure, or alcoholism.  100% of
participants who weren't close to either parent developed these diseases
by mid-life. In comparison, only 45% of the participants who perceived a
warm relationship with their mothers developed these diseases by the
time they reached their 50's. What implications might this study have
for the followers of Ezzo? Something else to think about?
