		<description><![CDATA[Researchers have analyzed Sweedish biographical data, which is quite comprehensive, and determined that fathers over 55 have a much higher chance of having a bipolar child.
Not that the research isn&#8217;t important, but remember that correlation does not equal causality.  There were NO controls to determine if the environment had any impact at all.  For example, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=mybipolarmother.wordpress.com&blog=953018&post=154&subd=mybipolarmother&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

If you didn&#8217;t, you can read it at snopes.
