Dogs and the people they make snore

In terms of research studies which I deem totally pointless and a waste of money I think this one might just be the champion.

Childhood risk factors, including exposure to dogs, can boost the chances of snoring later in a life, according to a team of researchers.

"Early-life environments can affect if you are a snorer or not later in life," Karl Franklin, MD, PhD, the study's lead author and a physician at University Hospital in Umea, Sweden.

The so-called expert stresses that more research is needed before advising parents to do anything. "I think we should do more studies before we take the dogs away."

Well yeah, I'd say so. Good grief!

The study is published in Respiratory Research.
