Eyesight and Neural Damage from Electronics

AI Thread Summary
Plasma televisions have been rumored to negatively impact eyesight, but credible medical sources do not support this claim. A search on PubMed, a reputable database for medical journals, revealed no evidence linking plasma TVs to adverse effects on vision. The discussion suggests that the belief may stem from myths or misinformation rather than scientific research. It is recommended to inquire about the sources of such claims to better understand their validity.

Greetings,

I am new in this forum, but I have a question about Plasma televisions. I was told that they have an adverse effect on eyesight. Can anyone elaborate? I tried looking on www.altavista.com for Journals and Information on the medical aspect, but there is nothing but foolishness about it not having any effect. Let me know if you know of anything, please.

Doing a quick search on pubmed, which is the database for credible medical related journals, turns up nothing. Did you ask whoever told you it has an adverse effect what THEIR source was? Otherwise, I can only assume it's just some myth or rumor.

On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
