But... from the same site, we have an article entitled &quot;HOLOCAUST GOOD FOR YOU, RESEARCH FINDS, BUT FREQUENT TAUNTING CAUSES CANCER IN RATS&quot;, which includes this quote, that attempts to explain why holocaust survivors have on average longer lives:<p>&quot;One possible explanation for these findings might be the “Posttraumatic Growth” phenomenon, according to which the traumatic, life-threatening experiences Holocaust survivors had to face, which engendered high levels of psychological distress, could have also served as potential stimuli for developing personal and inter-personal skills, gaining new insights and a deeper meaning to life.&quot;<p>So taking the 20% that receive food stamps, say, and dumping them wholesale into &quot;really miserable people&quot; category seems rather misguided.
