Another useless scientific article about obvious things.
Yes, you have a higher chance of dying when you get older, is this really a "news" we need on HackerNews?
Notice that the article doesn't even offer new facts, only statistical observations.
Please don't post snarky dismissals of other people's work. This breaks the HN guideline which asks:
"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."
That principle applies as well to articles as to persons, and there's clearly more in this piece than you reduced it to. But even if you were right, the combination of an empty comment and an acidic pH makes for a sourer website, and the internet is hostile enough already.
