there has been statistics that say this, and the study explained it that left handed people die of accidents when using right handed machinery for example....
stay safe... :-)

Thats the first time I've heard it but it would make sense with all the right handed machines.

In order to know this for sure, wouldn't a record have to be kept everytime some one died? Can you imagine being asked the question "Was she /he left or right handed?"

I have never heard of this before! My Grandma was left handed and she was 83 years old when she passed away of a heart attack.

no, that can't be true, we're actually learning about it in Bio and history class right now. they have no difference. it's probability and right handed people are no smarter or healthier or anything like that than left handed people.
if i'm wrong, sue my teachers xD

Well statically its because there are more right handed people than left.
Being left handed does not shorten your life!!!!

no I don't believe it, right or left it does'nt matter. what you eat and excercise has more to do with it. taking drugs will also kill fastewr than the hand you use!

Yes, it is true...I am not sure why though. One of my sons is left handed.

Of course not: life could not depend on just the way you write. There's more: health, diet, fitness, genetics, fate, stress, accidents, hereditary diseases; factors that affect your lifespan.
How long your life will be depends on how you've been living it, not on how you write about it...
