The LED bulbs I'm using sure seem to be an improvement.
All of the LED bulbs that I've used blink at what appears to be 120Hz. Now, it may well be that some people cannot see this blinking, but I can and it drives me batty. It's even worse than good quality CFLs. I bought a couple of cases of what I've chosen to think of as "real" lights just to postpone when I'll have to tolerate my whole house blinking at me. Ick.

Want to Eat Chocolate Every Day For a Year? 158
Scientists from the University of East Anglia are studying the potential health benefits of dark chocolate, and need 40 female volunteers who would like to eat chocolate every day for a year. The chocolate loving 40 must be post-menopausal and have type 2 diabetes so it can be determined if the flavonoid compounds in chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease. Dr Peter Curtis, of the UEA's School of Medicine, said, "Our first volunteers are about to return for their final visit to see if the markers of heart health - such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels — have changed. A successful outcome could be the first step in developing new ways to improve the lives of people at increased risk of heart disease."
