"Hostility and depression have been linked with heart disease at the individual level through biological effects," said Margaret Kern, an assistant professor at the University of Melbourne,, who assisted with the study.
"Negative emotions can also trigger behavioral and social responses; you are also more likely to drink, eat poorly and be isolated from other people which can indirectly lead to heart disease."
Interestingly, the study showed that it wasn't the people tweeting the angry words and topics, generally, that were dying of heart disease: it seems to be the toxic environment surrounding a user. Perhaps, then, a good enough reason for keeping it a little more convivial on Twitter. We mean, aside from complaining about how your Instagram pics won't show up.
