They probably didn't actually look for tooth decay or blocked arteries, maybe they should have. This sounds a lot like one of those studies that went out to try and prove some particular point - and lo and behold, it was true! What a surprise. Given the diversity of fiction available, and the lack of firm boundaries between genres, it doesn't seem likely that the study's findings mean all that much. (Disclaimer: I can't access details of the study, so all this is just me guessing.)
I'm curious, I've never read Danielle Steel, is "The Sins of the Mother" really a thriller?
