If there's anything science is good at, it's discovering new, strange ways for us to get cancer. Scientists have found a new one: Turning on the lights when you take a late-night trip to the bathroom!
According to actual scientists from the UK and Israel, sudden exposure to light at night "triggers an 'over-expression' of cells linked to the formation of cancer." Scientists compared a group of mice that were exposed to a light for one hour to mice that were kept in the dark, and found that brain cells linked to their Circadian rhythm were changed.
One researcher had this recommendation:
"If you want to get up to go to the toilet, you should avoid reaching for the light switch. There are some plug-in lights that just glow, that are safe and you could use them as an alternative."
I don't know what to say about this but after reading this article, I was sure of this one thing, Clearly, this research is sponsored by the "plug-in lights that just glow" industry.
