Social media is today's tobacco. It's everywhere, it's cool, but people realize after a few years that it's bad for them.
Sugar too. Last generation was sugar subsidies. Now we have sugar tax.
Sugar alternatives are probably like lead. Things like sucralose which has some scientific evidence against them, and things like stevia which have some cultural avoidance, but don't seem like they're properly studied. Western societies seem to be increasingly avoiding it, and it's getting dumped hard into third world countries, in combination with sugar taxes.
EMF could be on the list. Pop science suggests it's completely safe. I've had a guy angrily disagree with me on the internet, posting a link saying it's safe, and yet the link literally said that it's hazardous in very short range.
Phones do have a legal restriction on how much radiation they're allowed to emit. But this all small stuff. Right now, everything is powered on wifi. We have neighbors running high powered routers and repeaters. We're getting Starlink and 5G.
We've established a safe line for EMF exposure but we should probably review it with all the environmental factors coming in at once.
