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.

Chemical companies are seeking, in the U.S., non-regulated status for genetically engineered grass. Approval of this, in my opinion, will ensure regular blanket-spraying of lawns with RoundUp (glyphosate), a chemical whose goal is to kill all plant life it comes in contact with. Farmers use it between crops to kill off all other plant growth on their fields. You may have heard of RoundUp Ready (Genetically engineered) soybeans and the... [read more]

"The new work proves that the prions can bond with manganese in animal feeds or mineral licks. These manganese prions cause the neurological degeneration seen in BSE." "Worse still, the prion is then partial to bond with manganese and become a 'rogue' prion. A chain reaction whereby rogue... [read more]
