THOSE NAUGHTY POWERLINES AGAIN

"The July 5, 2004 issue of The San Francisco Chronicle has an article by reporter Ryan Kim "Power Line Route Raises Concern about Health" about a proposed Pacific Gas and Electric 27-mile long 230,000 volt electric transmission line near San Francisco. The article indicates how government environmental health services have been politicized to pander to the concerns of nearby homeowners along the preferred route. No less than the California Department of Health Services is reported to have surveyed published studies and concluded electromagnetic fields might cause increased risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease and miscarriages, although it is reported there is no conclusive link.

The original article can be found on SFGate.com here. Professor John Moulder, PhD, Medical College of Wisconsin, has created a definitive site on the health effects of power lines. See here and here

It is interesting to note that those who are so concerned about radiation from power lines damaging human DNA seem nonchalant about the lack of a common dietary substance, folic acid, derived from most green leafy vegetables, a deficiency of which can create DNA damage that mimics radiation damage. Bruce Ames, the most eminent cancer scientist in the world, has reported the effects of folic acid deficiency on human DNA in the October 2001 issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention. See here and here."

Many people would like to be kind to others so Leftists exploit that with their nonsense about equality. Most people want a clean, green environment so Greenies exploit that by inventing all sorts of far-fetched threats to the environment. But for both, the real motive is to promote themselves as wiser and better than everyone else, truth regardless.
