Honesty is the Healthiest Policy

If you think a little white lie never hurt anyone, you've got
company: The average person tells one or two untruths
daily. But lying can be hazardous to your health, according
to research from the University of Notre Dame. People
in the study who told the truth for a week had four fewer
emotional problems and three fewer physical ailments than
those who lied as usual. The researchers suspect that honesty
leads to stronger relationships, which boost well-being.
