"We were able to show that beyond 300 Facebook friends, adolescents showed higher cortisol levels. We can imagine that those who have 1,000 or 2,000 friends on Facebook may be subjected to even greater stress," explained Professor Sonia Lupien from University of Montreal.
"While other important external factors are also responsible, we estimated that the isolated effect of Facebook on cortisol was around eight percent," Lupien noted.
