Good for you for your awareness! It seems to me like there are a million risk factors for cancer, but light-at-night can be an easy fix, so I figure it's worth it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Scientific Chickhttp://www.scientificchick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045067453505592669.post-10389649388720951922010-06-10T21:43:48.821-07:002010-06-10T21:43:48.821-07:00This is fascinating!

Would this help, or does your whole body have to be in the dark (aka is the signal to make melatonin received visually?)katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427196326493274036noreply@blogger.com
