University of Haifa researchers found evidence that Light At Night (LAN) has harmful health effects. Bright city lights might boost your risks of cancer by suppressing melatonin production. The results show once again the clear link between LAN and cancer: the cancerous growths in mice exposed to Âshort days were smallest (0.85 cubic cm. average), while those mice exposed to the interval of LAN during dark hours had larger growths (1.84 cubic cm. average) and those exposed to Âlong days even larger growths (5.92 cubic cm. average). The study also discovered that suppression of melatonin definitely influences development of the tumor. The size of tumor in mice exposed to Âlong days but treated with melatonin was only 0.62 cubic cm…. (Source: FuturePundit)
