In our try to save money and energy, we stopped using old standard light bulbs and replaced them with the eco-friendly energy-saving ones.

We don’t know that these so-called eco-friendly bulbs are actually toxic and detrimental to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created an emergency protocol in case of a bulb breakage because of the harmful gas being released.

A study at the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute for German’s Federal Environment Agency, this gas emits 20 times more the allowed amount of mercury.

Energy-efficient light bulbs have been associated with anxiety, migraines, fatigue, dizziness, lack of concentration, and seizures.

Reasons why you need to switch back to incandescent or led lights:

• An excessive amount of mercury
• Mercury is a neurotoxin that harms the brain, nervous system, kidneys, liver, is related to anxiety, insomnia, memory loss, cancer, tremors, and Alzheimer’s.
• Cancer-causing chemicals

Study done at Berlin Germany’s Alab Laboratory, the energy-efficient bulbs are filled with cancer-causing chemicals:

• styrene,
• phenol, and
• naphthalene.
• UV rays

They emit UV-B and UV-C radiation – harmful to the skin and eyes with a negative effect on the entire immune system and prevents the formation of vitamin D3.
