Their analysis of hospital admissions from 1920 to 1934 in New York, 1928 to 1931 in Massachusetts, and 1922 nationwide found four times more divorces than marriages, three times as many singles, and widows and widowers at double the married group. Every day a hummingbird consumes four times its weight in food.
