cell phones

When I see someone at the grocery store checkout counter with fruits and vegetables that aren't in plastic bags, I want to tell them that the counter is filthier and less sanitary than a public toilet seat. So far I haven't told anyone that andI feel bad for not doing so. And the plastic bags at the fruit and veggies sections are free. There's no reason not to put your fruits and veggies in them.

The National Toxicology Program, a government organization, found that "high exposure to radio frequency radiation used by cell phones was associated with clear evidence of tumors in rats." However, federal agencies, including the FCC and FDA, claim that cell phone radiation is safe for humans.

An Australian study showed that some people, especially teens, are suffering from 'text neck,' which is muscle weakness that causes the body makes more bone on the back of the head to compensate. The new bone spurs will be passed down to future generations through epigenetics.

Neuroplasticity allows molding and shaping of the brain when exposed to certain environments for more than three hours a day, and the average American child spends nine hours a day interacting with screens.

A $25 million study on the effects of cellphone radiation on rats found clear evidence of tumors in the hearts of male rats and links to tumors in brains and adrenal glands. If the FDA had accepted the results, the FCC would have had to update its regulations set in 1996.
