Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick!?), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

"Burning the midnight oil? You could put yourself at risk for a stroke. Workers who put in 55 hours per week or more had a 33 percent greater risk of stroke and a 13 percent greater risk of heart disease than people who worked 35 to 40 hours per week, according to study just published in the medical journal The Lancet.
Interestingly, the study didn't find a difference in stroke risk between men and women, between older workers and younger workers, or between workers of different socioeconomic statuses. Instead, the more an individual worked, the greater his or her risk of stroke.
"It was surprising," Mika Kivimaki, lead author on the study and a professor of epidemiology at University College London, told The Huffington Post. "Previously, we found that long working hours was associated with diabetes, but only among those with low socioeconomic status. In contrast, the association with stroke was seen in all groups."
