Wednesday, September 08, 2004Scientists presenting research at the First International Scientific Conference on Childhood Leukemia on Wednesday said that light at night (LAN) and working shifts, which disrupts the body's internal clock, have been associated with an raised risk of breast and colorectal cancer. "We don't know whether abnormal light exposure is generating this higher incidence of childhood leukemia or not, but in view of what we know of other forms of cancer this is not unreasonable," Russell Foster, a molecular neuroscientist at Imperial College London, said in an interview. Hmmm. Sounds like it's all speculation and theory. Now excuse me. I've got to go turn off my children's night lights. posted by Sydney on 9/08/2004 11:46:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
