What's the big freaking mystery on the Ted Kennedy seizure? The media act like it's going to be a long investigation by "expert" physicians. I really don't understand the media, nor do I think this takes an expert.

Most likely cause of Kennedy seizure:

I stand corrected. Chappaquiddick tainted my impression of him.

It's a brain tumor. Now I feel bad.

Brain tumors have nothing to do with lifestyle, ever?

I've never heard of a link between lifestyle and any type of brain tumor, although smoking's probably linked with something.

Don't worry, Mudphud, we all assumed it was DT's--except that would require that he STOP drinking. It was puzzling, to be sure...

Lyle Alzado thought there was a link

I thought one of those industrial solvents, Tri-chlor perhaps, had a statisitcally signficant correlation with brain cancer/tumors? Or perhaps you tink this doesn't count as lifestyle?

The links I've heard of that hold any water have to do with radiation and chemical exposure (solvents and such), and no I don't consider these "lifestyle" issues. Not my specialty, so I'm far from the expert. You tort lawyers probably know more about these links than anyone.

Oh yeah, and cell phones. Those cause tumors.

(Apologies if you don't do torts--I tend to put all attorneys into the same evil basket...)
