When I worked as a bagger at a supermarket, an older lady came through my line buying a ton of organic produce, and complaining that it was so expensive. "It is," I agreed, "the conventional produce is much cheaper, if you'd like me to go exchange those for you?" "No no," she said. She insisted she *couldn't* buy conventional, because "they have GMOs and I'm allergic to GMOs." Now, I had just graduated from uni at that point (hadn't gotten my first full-time job yet), and though my degree is in computer science, I'd switched to that from studying biomedical engineering with a focus on researching gene therapies for cancers. So I know a little bit more than non-sciency people about GMOs, and knew being "allergic to GMOs" isn't really a thing, because GMOs aren't really one thing. So I asked politely, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Which GMOs are you allergic to?" Her response, as you can imagine, was, "All of them! I get very sick if I eat any GMOs!" I didn't continue the conversation, because I decided there was no way she'd listen anyway, but... it made me sad. Someone, somewhere had manipulated this poor old lady into spending money she didn't have -- money that likely went straight into the pockets of the organic producers who perpetuate such myths -- by making her afraid that any and all fruits and vegetables that aren't made by them will make her ill. They scared an old woman out of her money with modern-day Frankenstein stories. That should be illegal. So I know the feeling of having customers think they know what they're talking about, but really don't, trying to justify their purchasing habits to themselves and to you.

As a physicist, I have to make an important clarification. Yes, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency. But that doesn't mean low frequency waves can't be energetic : you just got to raise the amplitude of the wave. For example, infrared waves are low frequency compared to UVs. Yet an oven is infrared, so is a CO2 laser capable of cutting through wood or metal. Even lower frequency you're gonna have microwaves, which cook your meals... This is why there was regulation put into place for 4G/5G towers, because their energy is quite high despite the low frequency. The low frequency is used because the lower the frequency, the easier it can penetrate things like walls, cars, etc... This is why radiowaves are so good at being transmitted very far and through various objects, and why longer radiowaves such as AM stations will go through a tunnel and you can keep listening to them in your car, but shorter radiowaves such as FM stations won't. And at the core of the reason why it's so hard to predict cancers from EM waves : we simply cannot predict how they interact with individual cells. There is simply too much stuff we don't know yet about our own biology. We don't even know why cells produce extracellular vesicles for example. Yet if you tickle cells with EM waves or acoustic waves with sufficient energy, they're gonna produce vesicles... All we can do is have good practice with cell phones which have been recommanded for years: do not put them to your ears for a long time, especially for young children. Use speaker phone instead. For headphones and headsets, maybe don't buy bluetooth for children but wired devices, with an audio cable. Adults have a thicker cranium that usually protects them more efficiently from waves. But still, if you're gonna use them for like 10+ hours a day, maybe buy wired not wireless...

Well done doctor Mike! This video was so well done! I can't tell you how many concerned mothers and aunts I've had to give this exact mini lesson to. I graduated tech school with a degree in electronics and worked with industrial machines that emitted x-rays and high level RF for a decade and your explanations and graphics were on point. The part that really helps click for them I've found is to be honest and admit that there may be danger there, but as you stated, the fact that there have been dozens if not hundreds of studies looking for danger but cannot establish a clear link suggests that it's probably not worth worrying about, there are so many other things to be more worried about first. In fact, I have a Geiger counter at home to play with as a hobby, most people are surprised to see that cell phones emit no ionizing radiation, but their granite countertops and ceramic dishes do (low/safe levels to be clear). Another thing that I find so cool and mind-blowing is that radio waves and infra red and uv and x-rays are literally the exact same thing as visible light. Uv and x-rays are dangerous because they are a high enough energy (frequency) above visible light (especially x-rays since they are ionizing). But radio (including cell phones) and IR are less energy than visible light, and nobody is running around freaking out about visible light being dangerous (unless you are a vampire). Also, to be clear, low energy light radiation (visible light and below, like IR, microwave, and radio) can still be harmful if it's wattage or your proximity to the source is close enough. For example, is the light emitting from a 60w lightbulb harmful? Most people would say no, but now hold your hand an inch away from the bulb and see how long you can keep it there before your hand heats up enough to start burning. And that effect would happen faster or from further away if you used a brighter/higher wattage bulb. For context, the wattage of a cell phone transmitter (think of it literally as a light bulb) is 3w at most during a pulse of transmission, only equivalent to 0.25w when averaged.

Small waves, like ultraviolet (UV) and gamma, are tighter and have more energy, which are small enough to vibrate and damage things like cells and DNA.

Excellent video, Dr Mike! One thing to add would be that if you look at the light (RF) spectrum, from low energy to high energy, it goes: - non-ionizing: radio waves, mirowaves, infrared, visible, UV - ionizing: UV, X-Rays, Gamma-Rays Hence, radiowaves and microwaves have lower energy than visible light! Yet, somehow, no one is afraid to turn on a lightbulb at night and i have seen no studies checking the effect of visible light on cancers. While they cannot bump electrons from atoms at these wavelengths (wavelength (m) or frequency (Hz) ~ energy; different from emission power (W) ), the thing that they can do is heat tissue (think microwaves at 1000W or ~10000x the power of a cell phone; or think a magnifying glass concentrating visible light to heat something and burn it). This is why we have VERY conservative power limits with built in safety margins (cellphones max is about 0.3W; cell towers max ~20W; microwave heats at about 1000W for 1-2mins in a cavity designed to keep everything bouncing around so as to use the waves multiple times until they dissipate; think cats' eyes). The last thing is that we typically have the emission power (power emitted at the source) and also have a formula to calculate the power at a certain point and distance away (reception power), with the emission power being the maximum, and decreasing with distance and directivity. This makes it so it wouldn't matter if the source is right next to your ear (airpods) or in your pocket (cellphones). 1W of received power next to your ear is 1W of received power no matter if the power was greater when it left the cell phone in your pocket, the cell tower down the street or your neighbour's the wifi router.

Back in my community health classes when I was finishing my bachelors degree someone had mentioned this in the preventative medicine class. The Doctor Who teaches the class who was an MD who specifically researches health trends said that there are so many other carcinogens that are much more dangerous that we’re exposed to on a daily basis, and that for the average person, the connection between severity and potential for actual cause of cancer is so low that there are other things that should be focused on like stopping smoking, decreasing pollution levels in the air, dealing with micro plastics and chemicals that are in hygiene and personal care products as well as chemicals in cosmetics. In addition, there is the problem related to antibiotics in the food we eat. There’s a lot to unpack here, but basically there’s other things we should be worrying about.

It's still a crazy thing to research. We are bombarded with non ionizing radio waves literally every day. The intriguing thing about radio waves is that they can not touch our cells at all. They are either too big or do not have the crazy energy ultraviolet, xrays, and gamma rays contain to damage our cells. Some radiowaves are the size of a skyscraper.

Yah, there's at most mild heating at the site of impact but they don't go farther in than maybe an inch. If surface heating was enough to secondarily cause brain cancers, we'd all have already died from baseboard heaters or furnaces. You *can* get burns from malfunctioning radio towers (if you're a worker standing right next to it) or from idiots that pull out the magnetron from a microwave and use it unshielded. But that's levels several orders of magnitude higher than anything normal.

As part of a course I was leading a seminar on, last year I read a recent paper on effect of prolonged EMF from cell phones and headsets being used to make phone calls on stress and cardiac health using a very large British sample: Cell phone use was quantified based on ~2010 levels of use, not present day, to look at the downstream effects of high exposure. And it found headset use to make phone calls 15 years ago (not likely to be Bluetooth) was associated with present day worse health. Specifically usage to make phone calls over 30 hours a week, in people with lower SES. The main flaw (imo) in this study was that it didn't take into account why the cellphone use was so high, and it is more likely that what the study found was that having a JOB where you have to be on the phone all day (e.g. call center, operator, dispatch) is stressful. It is really hard to do this kind of population level study and I'm glad they could put the data out for others to see.

The wavelengths discussed here are Bluetooth, which straddle the line between microwaves and radio. Obviously something intended to send a wireless signal inside a room's distance is not going to have a wavelength of a kilometer. But nonetheless the odds of it having any kind of significant influence when it's way less powerful than a light bulb are practically nil.
@featheredskeptic13012 ай бұрын
The bottom line is that both cell phones and bluetooth headphones are in mass use in years and decades. If there was a cancer risk it would be noticeable by now. The rates of brain cancer would be surging as compare to the rates say 30 years ago. Any electromagnetic wave can be described as radiation. Phones usually emit milliwatts (can go to several watts) of RF power at around 850MHz to 5GHz (for 5G). Those frequencies are orders of magnitude lower than those of sunlight. Yet, conspiracy theorists aren't afraid exposing themselves to a high energy radiation with typical intensity of 1KW/m2 when they go to the beach, but at the same time are terrified of a cell phone or bluetooth headphones that have much lower energy, and they transmit it with much lower intensity.

This is one of the first things our professors explained to us while I was studying for my Telecommunication engineering degree. There are regulations for antennas about the radiation levels based on tons of studies and the levels are fractions of what was found as even slightly dangerous. On top of this there is a whole category of studies for everything that is in close contact with human bodies and the engineering is always around blasting as few radiation as possible towards us (even while inside those boundaries from the regulations). Phones for example reduce the radiations towards our faces (so through the screens). I'm happy to see someone with a big community sharing this knowledge and debunking these fears :)
