We were advised to throw away the classic light bulbs and replace them with energy saving light bulbs, but experts warns that the energy saving light bulbs should be used as rarely as possible and away from us.

"They save Energy, but not your Life" Researchers claim that these light bulbs are extremely harmful.

That’s what happened to U.K. couple **Alison Spooner and Dean Durrant when they gave birth to their twin girls seven years ago who happened to be born with two different complexions: one had white skin, and the other had black skin. As if that wasn’t shocking enough (Yeah, that’s right: there’s more!), when the multiracial couple decided to become pregnant again seven years later, they were ecstatic to discover they were expecting another set of twins! During their pregnancy, the two joked with friends and family concerning the odds that they would give birth to another set of mixed twins. Imagine their faces on delivery day when… they totally did! It’s not every day something like this happens - not even close. The odds of having fraternal twins: uncommon. Odds of having frate
