That’s a new twist that directly contradicts scads of evidence that says cancer rates are higher in those who receive less sunlight. The pineal gland is operative here. It’s probably not the artificial light itself, but that could serve as a marker for stressfull life style etc- the real factors at work.
thats a nice project to do
