Do you make them wear tin foil hats as well?? I don't think its a terrible stance to not let your children have a smart phone or tablet, you're just trying to look after their health based on your beliefs, which is fine. What I would say though is that you are limiting your children's ability to teach themselves how to use smart phones and tablets, in a world where so many jobs are dependent on employees being able to use these types of gadgets efficiently and effectively. You are also cutting them off from the #1 form of communication for children when out of school (depending how old they are), therefore you might be accidentally causing them to miss out on activities and parties that their friends are all going too.
RESULTS: The analysis revealed that in the study group, the number of follicles was lower than that in the control group. The decreased number of follicles in pups exposed to mobile phone microwaves suggest that intrauterine exposure has toxic effects on ovaries. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the microwaves of mobile phones might decrease the number of follicles in rats by several known and, no doubt, countless unknown mechanisms. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19241083 Follicles in women, the things that turn into eggs, there is a limited number, they are cooked by cell phone radiation, it effects the children born, we use rats obviously and the results show future generatons of female have less follicles because the follicle or say source code, they were grown from was damaged by the radiation. It's basically messing up the instructions for contructing a human. The generation effect may be reduced with humans du So a pregnant woman is quite possibly harming herself, her unborn kid and all future kids she may have as those follicles turn to eggs. This effect is culmitive, what you have is several generations of damage from exposure to microwaves, so we are only a few steps down that road, 10 generations or more will reveal the culmitive effects and given it is reduced follicles in females, that's a count down to sterility, each generation able to produce less eggs. Tin foil hat? #riskassessment #research
The first bit was clearly a joke. You failed to respond to my other legitimate points about the dangers of not exposing youngsters to these gadgets that are essential in the modern world.
May I take this opportunity to dispel the myth, espoused by the Moments and Whatnauts in 1975, of when they sung that they'd take five or six girls on an island, including one who wasn't 'good looking' because, in their words "They're the ones who do the best cooking". Like hell they do, in my experience, even with a top of the range microwave. In fact, the dumb cow tried to microwave a tin of tomato soup whilst still in the can.
Christ!! That can bring the house down. My brother once tried to micro wave a cadburys caramel as a kid, but didn't realise the inside of the wrapper had a foil lining! There were green lasers shooting across the kitchen! I kid you not
In fairness, this is not one of his crackpot theories, it is established fact that these devices emit potentially harmful radiation. Personally, I'd not be too concerned about the tablets, just tell the kids not to hold them against their bodies and just rest them on a table etc. But on the phones I actually agree with him, holding one of those things to your head is cooking your brain, can't be good for kids long term.
For sure. Any electrical device emits radiation. TV's, phones, PC's etc This is why humans get cancer, because we werent meant to be standing around bathing in radiation all day.
