Electricity is more dangerous than you think

 Electricity is almost certainly more dangerous than you think. If you spend most of your time working with or close to an electrical appliance, if you live or work near to an electricity supply line or if you spend your days working with electrical equipment then the chances of you developing cancer of one sort or another are considerably increased.

In America, where people only vote with their wallets when they really believe something, house prices near to electricity supply lines have fallen by as much as a quarter. The dean of a school of public health said about electricity that: “The present state of affairs is like the correlation between smoking and lung cancer 30 years ago.” He added that, at a conservative estimate, a third of all childhood cancers are caused by electrical fields.

A study of nearly 500 children showed that children whose mothers used electric blankets when they were pregnant, were two and a half times as likely to develop brain tumours. A study of nearly 700 children showed that children who lived in houses near to power distribution lines were two or three times as likely to die of leukaemia or brain tumours. Research at an American University showed that men who work as electricians or electrical engineers are ten times as likely to develop certain types of brain tumour. Experts found that workers for a telephone company who worked alongside electricity power lines were seven times as likely to develop leukaemia. And so it goes on.
