3. Didn't you see?!?!

That one bulb measured over 500! Who cares what the units are or what's actually being measured--500 is a big scary number! The 'expert' even said that that's half of 2000!

2. Here's what Health Canada actually has to say about CFLs...

However, the amount of UV produced is so small that it is not considered hazardous to your health. A number of international scientific studies have found no health issues within the general population that are associated with the use of fluorescent lights.

Although the amount of UV emitted by CFLs poses no problem for the average person, some people are extremely sensitive to UV and may be affected by the amount of UV produced by CFLs. Those who have Lupus or another auto-immune disease and certain skin conditions can be sensitive to the UV from CFLs. If you believe you are suffering from symptoms related to CFLs or fluorescent lighting, you should consult your health care provider.

Oh, and Global, IMO, is Canada's version of Fox News.
