A 20-year study of a million children found that kids conceived by IVF frozen embryo transfer had double the cancer rate.
84% of US IVF transfers now use frozen embryos.
Danish researchers followed every child born in Denmark from 1996 to 2012 for up to 20 years. The study was published in JAMA last week.
Children conceived without assisted reproduction developed cancer at 18.3 per 100,000 per year.
After frozen embryo transfer, the rate was 41.1.
After ICSI, where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg, it was 27.9.
After frozen transfer, leukemia ran more than twice as high.
The only method that showed no increase was a fresh embryo, never frozen, created by placing eggs and sperm together in a dish.
That version is now the exception. In 2021, 84% of US IVF transfers used frozen embryos and 78% used ICSI, according to the CDC.
Compared with children of women with a history of infertility who conceived without treatment, the frozen embryo risk stayed at more than double.
In the authors' words, the results suggest "procedure-related, rather than infertility-related, factors." This is not the first time the pattern has shown up.
A 2019 JAMA study of the same Danish children at 11 years found it too. A 2022 study of 2.3 million children in Taiwan found those conceived through assisted reproduction had 58% higher cancer risk, "mainly owing to leukemia and hepatic tumor."
The absolute risk is small, and most of these children will never get cancer. The Danish children were conceived with older freezing methods, and the authors warn the results "may differ for contemporary protocols."
Nobody yet has long-term data on IVF as it is done today. Children conceived with today's methods won't have 20 years of data until the 2040s, so today's IVF children are, in effect, the trial.
Parents deserve to hear these numbers before they sign the consent form, because their child is the one who will carry the risk.

Breaking: My letter to @SenAshleyMoody exposes a plot by select officials of the FDA and the federal judiciary to expose ALL Americans to mRNA drugs, secret biomedical experiments, and the sanctioning of battery to shield those acts from lawsuits. https://t.co/Dd082wtjVf Read the Executive Summary at minimum and share widely. A plain audio version of the letter will be available today, or tomorrow at the latest.

Researchers gave office workers who lived under LEDs a 60W incandescent desk lamp. Two weeks later, every one of them had their color vision improve by 25%.
In 2022, the government banned those bulbs for "wasting" energy.
But that "waste" is actually one of the most important nutrients our bodies depend upon, and the improvement lasted for weeks after the lamps were taken away (while nothing changed in the controls).
Decades of forgotten research show the artificial light we replaced it with is a root cause of many inexplicable illnesses (e.g., insomnia, obesity, cancer, and hyperactivity in children).
Here I show what that research found and why Senator Mike Lee’s bill to bring these bulbs back, which has now cleared a Senate committee, matters.🧵

If you're worried about your smart TV spying on you, but don't want to or know how to root your device, you can simply buy a remote control power outlet that turns your tv truly off instead of actively listening to you while it's in standby mode.
@xravenazut@brownstoneinst We need to stop focusing so much on what these agencies are doing and focus a lot more on how this is happening and who is behind it.
“The World Health Organization” now states on its website:
“COVID-19 vaccination can cause multiple sclerosis due to cross-reactive CD4+ T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.”
In other words, your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
This data was available during the lockdowns but was labeled as a “conspiracy theory” and censored by social media.
Also way to concede cybersecurity to a foreign power! You really want gov and corporations spying on us so much that you’d rather open China up to 0-day exploits than get rid of consumer surveillance tools? Noted.
Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.
I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.
If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.
If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
I feel like I keep discovering potential solutions to world changing problems and then I discover that the reason we have these problems in the first place is because we have terrorists running around entirely unimpeded.
The US Department of Veterans Affairs has started investigating high-dose Pregnenolone (500-2000mg) alongside DHEA, as novel therapies for chronic pain management.
They have even gone so far as to describe the use of neurosteroids in this context as a potential “Therapeutic Breakthrough.”
Ray Peat vindicated once again.
אני מגבה באופן מוחלט את הרמטכ״ל על עמידתו על חובתו המקצועית. אסור לאפשר שום מהלך צבאי שאין מאחוריו צורך ביטחוני ברור, תכלית אסטרטגית ותוכנית פעולה אחראית.
כשאזרחי ישראל ילכו אל הקלפי ביום שלישי הקרוב עליהם לזכור זאת: נתניהו מהווה איום ביטחוני על ישראל. הוא אינו מהסס להקריב את חיי ילדינו לשם הישרדותו ערב בחירות - את זה צה״ל מנסה לבלום.
ביטחון ישראל נתון בידיו של דרג מדיני מושחת, אנשים בלתי כשירים ומטורפים שלא מהססים להקריב את ביטחון ישראל כדי לשמור על הכיסא.
אנחנו ננצח. ואנחנו נחליף אותם ונחזיר את ישראל לדרך הביטחון והאחריות.
