In what surely must be under the category of “yet another thing to worry about”, Israeli researchers have published information on the possibility that artificial light promotes breast cancer. This idea is purchase windows xp student supported by animal studies and human epidemiological studies (for purchase windows xp student instance, women who work the night shift have higher rates of breast cancer than purchase windows xp student those working days).
The current study used NASA satellite data to purchase windows xp student measure nighttime artificial light amounts on 213 Israeli settlements. They looked at lung cancer and purchase windows xp student breast cancer incidences. Lung cancer was unchanged, but breast cancer showed a purchase windows xp student 37% increase in incidence when women lived in an “average” lit area (compared to very little night light), and a 64% increase in areas with the purchase windows xp student most artificial light. Another aspect of the study showed women with breast cancer to purchase windows xp student live generally closer to shopping malls, entertainment areas and other highly-lit areas.
Artificial light, particularly “blue” light from purchase windows xp student fluorescent bulbs, block the production of melatonin, a hormone produced by the purchase windows xp student pineal gland. Melatonin is a potent supporter of the immune system, and purchase windows xp student seems to have a helpful effect in preventing and even treating breast cancer (the NIH is currently funding a study of just this positive effect).
Meanwhile, seeking natural light wherever possible, small doses of melatonin at night, and purchase windows xp student skipping the Leno monologue for an earlier bedtime might be a purchase windows xp student good immune-boosting strategy.
