Subject: Fluorescent light-bulbs could lead to migraines and worse, says
Irish GP

Continued promotion of energy-saving fluorescent light-bulbs that are
implicated in migraines does not sit well from a party which declared on
12 March, before the last election, that " in government Greens would
stop water fluoridation", a subject which leader John Gormley is
acknowledged to know far more about than any other TD or Senator in the
Irish parliament.

So no change on a policy with officially-published evidence of
toxicological effects* but evidence of another health risk from
energy-saving light-bulbs, whose toxicological profile is still is still
poorly researched.

* dental fluorosis in Irish teenagers up seven times since 1984, (UCC
North South Survey, 2002 - 2006)
