As the experts squabble over how to interpret past research, new studies continue to appear suggesting that the dangers from EMFs are real. German investigators recently discovered that the EMFs generated by mobile phones might increase resting blood pressure. In their study, exposure to a radio-frequency magnetic field for 35 minutes caused a 5 to 10 mm Hg rise in blood pressure. In another study, Swedish researchers recently found that women under fifty years old suffered an increase risk for breast cancer when exposed to EMFs.
Electromagnetic energy is thought to cause cancer by depressing nighttime melatonin levels.
Low melatonin leads to increases in circulating estrogen levels, and estrogen promotes the growth of breast tumors.
