Wireless Exposure Damages Brains
Accumulating research shows that wireless microwave radiationaffectsfetalbraindevelopment,theimmunesystemandreproductivefunction. Even very low doses of wireless radiation affect brainmetabolismandelectricalactivity.
Yale University researchers found that when pregnant mice wereexposedtoradiationfromasimulatedoperatingphone,theiroffspringhad impairedmemory, increased hyperactivity and altered brains.Several researchstudiesshowwireless impairsbraindevelopmentatvariousages.
