MyFox Chicago | Possible Health Dangers of Hybrid Cars

[baglenn77]

Well i use to own a 2007 toyota prius and would drive over 120 miles a day. Here is the strange part: I would have aches and pains in my joints intermittley. Even my mom got in the car and like a couple o min she would get a horrible headache. Well i got rid of it and i dont have the pains in my joints anymore

I hope you're being sarcastic. I've heard more believable things from Fox Chicago than any other news station. On a story like this, I'll believe them for what it is. On politics and the things that they obviously want us to hear, than I don't believe it.

intriguing

weird... everything causes cancer so no worries.

Show the verified evidence as to what health risk there are and what exposure levels are dangerous and I'll give Faux News some credit. I call nothing but Fox pandering to trying to stir up a story for itself. What causes more exposure anyways? Driving a car or using a cell phone? If your giving up a hybrid over these claims then you might as well move out to rural North Dakota and unplug form the electrical grid.

lol reminds me of southpark when everyone was being all smug because they got hybrids and started smelling their own farts

[Duce2k]

There will always be cons and pros when it comes to any automibile, whether it be hybrid, gas or diesel, depending on who you're speaking to

If saving money on gas prices kills you then we are doomed!

they are playing off the emotions people are having because of the rumors of oil going up to $300 a barrel or $6.00+ a gallon for gas.

here you go, seems everybody thinks something different. I would have to say that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. ANYTHING in excess can kill you (even water) so who knows

i dont think that they are playing off anything. could be the mis-interpretation of data, there has been an increased risk of cancer shown by EMF. But nobody can agree if the increase is high enough to be soley contributed to EMF or other factors.

lol

this EMF thing can easily be mistaken for one of those "energies" weirdos believe in

like "dolphin power" (penn and teller bullshit)

I'd like to disagree with the hybrid report but that does make sense if you think about it. Either we are hearing more of cancer nowadays than we did "back then" or it's becoming more common. If EMF can increase the chances of cancer that would explain why it's so common now (if it already wasn't) because you pretty much can't go anywhere nowadays and be away from electricity unless you are out in the woods.

did anyone ever ask "did you live under power lines as a kid??"
