Tho I use them, these and old fashioned fluorescent lightbulbs have always put me off. Ive never liked them so I was surprised when I read a while back that they emit a light that is not found anywhere in nature. It is entirely unnatural and is actually a green light not a white light. Idk if its my subconscious natural evolutionary instincts telling me they are an unnatural light or what but I am not at all surprised to find out that these things can hurt us. Ill be keeping an eye out for further data, and probably removing them from my house.

Another thing I read about them is that fluorescent lights actually show the second layer of skin which is why everyone looks like **** under high fluorescents.
