CANCER FEAR OVER ELECTRIC BLANKET (Original is here.)Wednesday April 25,2007
Emma Bamford
WOMEN who use electric blankets to keep warm at night could be more at risk of cancer of the womb, according to scientists.They say those who have ever used one are 15 per cent more likely to become victims than those who have not.
But for anyone who has regularly used them for 20 years or more, the risks increase to 36 per cent.
The scientists believe the reason may be that the blankets expose women to low levels of electro-magnetic radiation.
The findings add to the controversy about whether electro-magnetic fields in the home are dangerous.
A recent study found black women who used electric blankets for 10 years had a five times greater risk of breast cancer. But other studies found no such link in white women. Scientists at Wayne State University in Michigan came up with the latest findings after analysing data on 90,000 women.
The results, published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention, showed 1,500 of them developed a tumour of the womb.
Once they had allowed for other risk factors, such as heavy drinking, being overweight and not having children, the experts found a significant link with the use of electric blankets. Womb cancer affects about 6,000 women every year in the UK, mostly over-50s.

Here is a bit of history that illustrates why they feed us hydrofluorosilcic acid in our water. Show this to those who ask why should the authorities slow poison us! "One of the main reasons for processing the raw phosphate rock for agricultural purposes is because of the fluoride content – mainly in the form of fluorosilicates/silicon tetrafluoride.
