Scare Story Of The Day: Going To The Toilet Gives You Cancer

by | 12th, April 2010

SCARE Story of the day comes in the Mail, where readers are warned that night-time visits to the toilet can cause cancer.

The news is chilling:

Simply turning on a light at night for a few seconds to go to the toilet can cause changes that might lead to cancer…

Better to go in the dark. Although if you miss the target, you will die from genital warts.

But back to the science. Dr Rachel Ben-Shlomo, of the University of Haifa, writes in the journal Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics:

“We believe that any turning on of artificial light in the night has an impact on the body clock. It’s a very sensitive mechanism. 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.”

Or just drink lots of Methylene Blue and light as you go…
