DO NIGHTLIGHTS CAUSE CANCER?

Esteemed cancer researcher discovers the link between nighttime light exposure and cancer development

It’s shocking but true: Your nightlight may be killing you.

In fact, ANYTHING lighting up your bedroom at night — even a teeny bit — could be causing cancerous changes inside your body. The streetlight or flood light streaming into your window … the light emitted from your cell phone…your charger…your cable box…your alarm clock…even your smoke detector.

So…What’s going on?

Cancer researcher, Dr. Richard G. Stevens, a professor at the UConn School of Medicine, figured it out:

Artificial light at night disrupts your circadian rhythm — the 24-hour internal clock that regulates when you sleep, wake, and eat.

This disruption then lowers melatonin levels in your body. In addition to helping you sleep, melatonin has powerful anti-cancer activity. When your melatonin levels go down, so does your ability to fall asleep easily … and worse, your ability to fight cancer.

For instance, did you know that areas of the United States with the most artificial light also have the highest rates of breast cancer?

I’m betting you never heard about this connection — even though Dr. Stevens first published the evidence in the American Journal of Epidemiology nearly 40 years ago! ¹ He’s since authored dozens of studies on the topic in scientific journals including the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, and Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.

Which begs the question…

What other life-altering health research have you missed out on?

Probably a lot!

As a health writer for the past 30 years, I’ve been shocked by how many fascinating and life-changing studies I’ve read that my friends, family, and colleagues have never heard of. I cringe as I watch them plug toxic “air fresheners” into their outlets…take supplements in forms they’ll never absorb…or use artificial sweeteners thinking they are safe and will help them lose weight.

This is exactly why I launched The Healthy Lowdown — an easy-to-read monthly newsletter that summarizes important health research you won’t hear about anywhere else.
