Twilight Zone reference, aside, I offer you and your loyal readers the following thought: When these types of studies are done, does anyone ever deconvoluted the data for the fact that the lifestyle difference of readers vs. non-readers may account for it all and the reading is merely an incidental artifact? I guess that might screw up the chances of another research grant.
