Lightbulbs give you cancer

04Jan08

Oh wait, energy saving lightbulbs will give you skin cancer (and migraines, and eczema, and dizziness).

If they continue at this rate they will classify 936 objects into cancer causing or cancer curing in 2008. That’s not counting the Mail on Sunday.

I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

    What a fantastic blog – well done. The Daily Mail is the most loathsome of newspapers and deserves to be publicly pilloried for its lamentable coverage. All power to you.

    Come back! Came across this via a link from DollyMix and this looks like a really entertaining blog – but only for one month, back in the halcyon days of January 2008. Sadface. Come back!

    Your blog was mentioned in New Scientist magazine. They, along with myself, implore your return.

    hi
    I am seroiusly concerned about CFL bulbs being a cause of cancer, doubly so as this was written up in the the Daily Mail so it must be true! Have they made any progress in proving a link between. immigration & lung cancer yet? They are also compiling satistics of the role of political-correctness-gone-mad to Leukaemia I believe….it’s so encouraging to know a national newspaper takes such an active role in the advancement of science.
    My concern- doe’s eating 10 CFL’s per week increase the risk factor? Oh by the way a friend wants to know is having sexual fantasie’s about Richard Littlejohn carcinogenic or just strange?
