Electricity has become an integral part of our lives, with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) all around us. Electricity certainly makes our lives easier in many ways. Is it possible that electricity is also making our lives shorter?
Most experts agree that some limited exposure to EMFs is not a threat. We can feel reasonably safe using a toaster, for example. The problem comes when we are chronically exposed to large does of EMFs such as encountered when living near power lines or sleeping in the room where the power enters the house. Unfortunately, this type of chronic exposure to EMFs applies to millions of Americans.

Health officials in the Valley, and across the nation, are preparing for a new medical superbug that could become the country's next big public health threat.
The Centers for Disease Control website says several states have reported increased rates of clostridium difficile-associated disease, noting more severe disease and an increased number in deaths.
This has been the enduring mystery: How do events in the outside world get inside your head? That is, how do things that affect whether a child grows up to be contented and well-adjusted or a neurotic mess - things like abuse and neglect - change the gray matter to produce the brain activity and circuitry that corresponds to these psychological states? By turning some genes on and other genes off, according to a study posted this evening in the May 6 edition of the online PLoS ONE.
A team of McGill University scientists has found that suicide victims who were abused as children have clear genetic changes in their brains.
During the study, researchers discovered what they say are key differences between the brains of ordinary people, and of those who took their own lives after suffering child abuse.
They found that the genetic sequence wasnt significantly different in the suicide and non-suicide brains, but there were differences in their epigenetic marking a chemical coating influenced by environmental factors.
Researchers found that all of the 13 suicide victims in the study had experienced abuse as children.
Bacteria that cause the bubonic plague may be more virulent than their close relatives because of a single genetic mutation, according to research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology.
Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.
Prague, May 2 (CTK) - A Czech woman, now aged 28, absolutely lost ability to think 14 years ago and has not recovered since, the daily Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) wrote Friday.
The 14-year-old girl started her eighth grade. Her mother was called by the school staff telling her that her daughter was standing in front of the school and does not know where to go. She forgot who she was and what she was doing there, MfD writes.
All of a sudden, the girl's brain stopped rightly working.

The nation's food supply may soon be under significant threat as the result of a Bush administration decision to move its research on one of the most contagious animal diseases from an isolated island laboratory to the U.S. mainland, placing it near herds of livestock.
Comment: Grady Thrasher is justified to worry about a research lab outbreak. Viruses are known to have "accidentally" escaped "highly secured" labs before. Another thought worthy of consideration is whether the slaughter of cattle, chicken, etc due to "accidental" virus outbreaks, are part of an insidious agenda to starve the population.
