    Women with hereditary breast cancer predispositions should avoid using their smartphones, tablets and laptops at night

    From SMJ Mortazavi, Professor of Medical Physics, Visiting Scientist at FCCC, Fox Chase Cancer on Linkedin
    Excerpt:

    Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women, both in the developed and developing countries. Women with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Recent studies show that short-wavelength visible light disturb the secretion of melatonin and causes circadian rhythm disruption. We have previously studied the health effects of exposure to different levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) such as mobile phones, mobile base stations, mobile phone jammers, laptop computers, and radars. Moreover, over the past several years, we investigated the health effects of exposure to the short wavelength visible light in the blue region emitted from digital screens…SNIP

    The Melatonin Hypothesis Revisited

    From Louis Slesin, Microwave News:

    Maria Feychting of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute thinks epidemiologists should stop studying links between power-frequency EMFs and breast cancer.

    “Now it is enough!” she says in a commentary just published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

    Not everyone agrees with her.

    Breast cancer and cell phone radiation: A special relationship

    Following on from the last message, there is evidence that breast cancer tumors are especially sensitive to microwaves because breast cancer tumour cells absorb significantly more radiofrequency radiation than other cancer cell types, or healthy tissue for that matter. According to a paper by Joines et al, 1993, “In general, at all frequencies tested [50
