If I were a researcher and wanted to study this issue, I'd look at people who work in churches. Many churches with tall steeples lease space in them to wireless network providers, and those who work in churches are working under these antennas all day in close proximity. Comparing cancer rates in this population to those in the general vicinity would be an interesting study.
I'd hypothesize that there isn't a big increase in cancer rates for pastors of Baptist churches. We've all had cell phones connected to our bodies for decades now with the main side effect apparently sore thumbs and disrupted sleep patterns. If there were a correlation, I'd expect we'd see it by now.
- amluto 7y agoI see no reason to expect 20+ GHz to have similar effects to <2GHz radiation. At 20 GHz, almost all energy is deposited in the skin or eyes.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoIf I understand transmitters correctly, wouldn't ~directly under the antenna be a relatively low signal strength area? Someone correct my if I'm wrong.
- manmal 7y agoDisclaimer: Personally I don’t think LTE and co really pose significant health risks. But, your claim that there were no changes to public health in the last two decades seems misinformed. Eg we have an Alzheimer‘s epidemic and an obesity epidemic, and rapidly dropping fertility rates. AFAIK some cancers are more prevalent. All these could be caused by other factors, but it definitely needs to be ruled out.
- rawoke083600 7y agoNot a scientist but did some undergraduate work in biochem. The answer might be in those two observations (Alzheimer's + obesity). As I understood it in most cases of Alzheimer's there is a deficiencies in the brain- glucose pathway/efficiency and as a result (some studies think) that the brain now have to work harder at extracting the energy from pathway and spend less time on maintenance+cleaning... (plague + metabolites). Thus switching the brain to ketones(or low enough carbs) will force brain to make use of this new fuel source.(better source ?). There is definitely a link to obesity and over eating on carbs/sugar/glucose Just interesting that the two cases might be realted (Alzheimer's and obesity) disclaimer not a scientist or hippie.
- rawoke083600 7y agoPpl working in churches might also be more religious and follow a spiritual/different diet... depending on church... Could be a range of reasons why ppl in working in churches are more or less ill...
