Great, even our beds could be causing cancer

A Swedish study is trying to nail down the reason that cancer is 10%
more likely to occur in the left breast over the right, on top of the
steadily increasing risk of cancer over last 30 years. One theory? Your
box spring could be a giant, radiation-emitting antenna.























The research, carried out by Hallberg Independent Research and the
Karolinska Institute, both in Sweden, attempts to correlate the fact
that most people tend to sleep on their right side and that the length
of a box spring mattress in America is exactly the right length to make
it act as an amplifier for FM and TV waves.


"Thus, as we sleep on our coil-spring mattresses, we are in effect
sleeping on an antenna that amplifies the intensity of the broadcast
FM/TV radiation," writes Scientific American.
"Asleep on these antennas, our bodies are exposed to the amplified
electromagnetic radiation for a third of our life spans." The radiation
would be the strongest almost a meter above the surface of the box
spring, which would mean that the side of your body that you're not
sleeping on would get hit the hardest. In most cases, that'd be your
left.


Great. I already think my cellphone is killing me slowly,
and I eye my microwave suspiciously every time I use it. Now I've got
to worry about my bed, too? The solution, unfortunately, is simple but
painful: either manufacturers start using non-metals for the springs, or
you throw out your expensive box spring and find another sleeping
arrangement.

Ha ha! Having a water bed is paying off. Enjoy your cancer suckers while I ride the waves (as I sleep that is).

IDK why.

Nice stock photo.

Yeah, I totally planned that pun ahead of time because I am so utterly smart.

Aren't puns supposed to be funny?

It's technical.

No you're technical!

You broke my heart!

Well we can build bones.
