Children who sleep with the lights on at risk of leukemia. The scientists found that the body needs in a dark atmosphere to produce cancer-fighting chemicals. Even when the turned on the light toilet, stayed up late, traveling across time zones, street lights to stop the production of melatonin substances.
The body requires chemicals to prevent DNA damage and lack of substance melatonin will stop the fatty acids into the tumor and prevent its growth.
Prof. Russle Reiter University of Texas who led the study, said "Once you are asleep and do not turn off their lights for 1 minute. Your brain immediately detects that the light is on all day and the production of melatonin decreases substance. "
The number of children people with leukemia rose to double that in the past 40 years. About 500 young people under 15 years of being diagnosed with this disease annually and about 100 people died.
A conference on children with leukemia was held in London said that people suffering from cancer due to too long to use lights at night of sleep than those who never wore light bedtime.
This suppress the production of melatonin which normally happens between the hours of 9 pm until 8 o'clock. Previous research has shown that people who are most susceptible are shift workers who are at risk of developing breast cancer.
In fact, blind people are not susceptible to melatonin have a lower risk of cancer. So the parents are advised to use colored light bulbs that dim red or yellow if the children afraid of the dark.
