Chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields may contribute to cancer development from "summary" of Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD
Our bodies are constantly bombarded by electromagnetic fields in our modern world. Everything from cell phones to Wi-Fi signals emits these invisible waves. While the debate over the health effects of electromagnetic fields rages on, some studies suggest a potential link between chronic exposure to these fields and cancer development. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic in 2011. This classification was based on studies showing an increased risk of brain tumors in heavy cell phone users. The specific mechanisms by which electromagnetic fields may contribute to cancer development are still not fully understood, but there are several theories. One theory is that electromagnetic fields can disrupt the body's natural electromagnetic balance, leading to cellular...
