Now this one's for the kids. Too much TV could make you aggressive adults. That's according to a new study, which followed a thousand children born in the early 70's in New Zealand.

Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15 they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched the most were more likely to have a criminal conviction.

Though this does not prove cause and effect the American academy of pediatrics recommends no more than one to two hours of TV a day for kids.
