I visited the source site above. Wow talk about anything and everything electromagnetic; it's a publication totally dedicated to electomagnet sensitivity. Readers can draw their own conclusions by reading some of the published anecdotes.

And after 30 years of research, and billions of dollars spent we are still trying to find a definitive, causative link between EMF and cancer, especially in children? From the Leukaemia Foundation website, even they conceed that after so many years of research there is still no "Causative" link between EMF and Leukaemia in children. And comparing statistics, the scariest statistic after so many years of research is still only a 2-3 times increase in the risk of leaukaemia in children? I guess medical research can also show us that children living in a family that smokes or lives an unhealthy lifestyle will probably produce the same results or worse. Smoking statistics in comparison increases our cancer risk by 20-30times! And Heart disease kills one Australian every 10 minutes! It accounts for 34% of all deaths in 2006 which is 46,000 Australian lives!! (Stats from National Heart Foundation). So to put things in perspective, i agree with the other post that lifestyle and genes definitely in my mind plays a much greater role in life expectancy and general wellbeing. Take care everyone, and have a very Safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! p.s. this is the last time i am going to edit this post for poor grammer and spelling! Also added a link to the leukaemia foundation. Our standard double-glazed window is tested to achieve, Rw 34, and can be glazed to suit Rw 39. The price is good too... 3 9449 Would also like an opinion from anyone that has used xcem over hebel for floors. Thanks 1 13277 2 15459 |
