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.

Meanwhile, what can you do to reduce your chances – and the chances of anyone in your family – of being killed by electrical fields?...<<<Read More>>>...

Smartphone use leads to hallucinations, detachment from reality, aggression in teens as young as 13: Study

Smartphones are making teenagers more aggressive, detached from reality and causing them to hallucinate, according to new research.

Scientists concluded the younger a person starts using a phone, the more likely they would be crippled by a whole host of psychological ills after surveying 10,500 teens between 13 and 17 from both the US and India for the study, by Sapien Labs.

"People don't fully appreciate that hyper-real and hyper-immersive screen experiences can blur reality at key stages of development," addiction psychologist Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, who was not part of the team who did the study, told The Post.

"Their digital world can compromise their ability to distinguish between what's real and what's not. A hallucination by any other name.

"Screen time essentially acts as a toxin that stunts both brain development and social development," Kardaras explained. "The younger a kid is when given a device, the higher the likelihood of mental health issues later on."

The teens surveyed for "The Youth Mind: Rising Aggression and Anger" were significantly worse off than older Gen Zers in Sapien Labs' database and the youngest ages were more likely to suffer aggression, anger and hallucinations compared to their older counterparts.

A staggering 37% of 13-year-olds reported experiencing aggression, compared with 27% of 17-year-olds. Frighteningly, 20% of 13-year-olds say they suffer from hallucinations, compared to 12% of 17-year-olds.

"Whereas today's 17-year-olds typically got a phone at age 11 or 12, today's 13-year-olds got their phones at age 10," the report noted....<<<Read More>>>...
