My cousins don't watch TV and when I do, they claim that if you watch two or more hours of TV, that can kill your brain cells. I don't get it...because I don't seem like I lost brain cells after watching TV!

If this hypothesis is valid?
How many brain cells are dying, every day, all around the globe, with the millions of computer monitor viewers?
Isn't this the same thing?
Hmmmmmm

I dont think so. However ;each brain cell hold information just like a hard drive in the computer. Neverthe less brain cell can die;such is the case with alcoholics.The alcohol does affect brain cells.
The number of brains cell are so numerous that you dont realize that they are cloggled with useless information.
Therefore as you age your brain hard drive does not as easely remember (retrieve information)as it did when you were younger when there was no television.

Most likely that is what their parents have told them to keep them from wanting to watch tv. I think it's a load of nonsense. Does that include Presidential addresses, news, classes, children's educational programming?
TV can make folks more sendentary, I will give them that - but killing brain cells? Not likely.
Peace!

Brain cells die naturally and it doesn't matter if you watch T.V. or exercise, the same brain cells will cease to exist. It is the natural coarse of life. That is why we have billions upon billions of the brain cells. Imagine how many died during my input of this information. I don't feel any different.

I think 2 hours is OK as long as you do other things to build brain cells for the same amount of time.

LoL its not like you can actually feel it! I think it maybe true bc of the radiation that is coming out from the TV. So I guess the farther your away from your tv the better?! Which makes me wonder about computers... eww.

No , abusing drugs is the only thing that can kill brain cells.

You will notice something like that in many many years from now, when your brain will develop Alzheimer's disease because of too much tv.
Try to watch less and start USING you brain by reading, crosswords and stuff like that
