> There's also some evidence it's linked to cancer

Isn’t everything? I would love to see a site that was more about the relative risks of cancer. Or even better, that queries us for our behaviours and then suggests where to spend our efforts to improve our quality of life, based on well supported research.

WARNING: Reading this comment is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

  • We all have a risk of cancer per hour, so there is definitely a direct scientifically sound relationship between time spent reading your comment and the risk of cancer. It wouldn’t surprise me to find cancer risks associated with using specific devices (to read your comment). I presume there could be less likely psychological cause and effect: for example perhaps your comment causes anxiety and sleep deprivation with cancer as a side effect.
