Tod,

I don't think it's pop science (something I'm suspect of, too). Here are a few of the articles about sitting & health that get sited regularly. Looks like the latest says some exercise can offset the negative effects of sitting. But the weight of current careful science doesn't appear too positive. Check them out.
