University College London researchers studied 8,000 people, says the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Experts believe a sense of unfairness engenders negative emotions which may prompt biochemical changes in the body.

It sounds ironic, life is unfair to you, you are surrounded by injustice, now you have a higher risk for heart problems.
So like having a sense of injustice makes life less just . . .
Oh, I had so many high falutin thoughts on this, but nothing works better than… well, duh! I betting the “increased risk” designation goes far beyond heart disease.
