Can EMFs really affect human health?
Today, over a thousand research studies have linked EMFs to important biological effects. But there is still great controversy about the seriousness of the health effects, and the conclusiveness of the research data. In the beginning, many scientists assumed that EMFs could not affect human health because EMFs cannot ionize molecules like x-rays and nuclear radiation, and the exposures are usually too low to cause significant heating of body tissue. However, similar to the way that EMFs can cause interference problems for sensitive electronics and computer system, the research is beginning to suggest that low-level EMFs can indeed influence and interfere with sensitive bio-electromagnetic processes within our cells, brains and bodies. For example, research suggests that our pineal gland can somehow sense the daily changes of the earth’s natural magnetic field, and use this information to help regulate our wake/sleep cycle. Studies indicate that artificial magnetic fields can suppress t
