WiFi During Pregnancy: The Thyroid Damage That Lasts a Lifetime

The Healthier Tech Podcast

Show Notes

Turkish researchers discovered that WiFi-frequency radiation exposure during pregnancy caused thyroid damage in offspring that persisted for an entire year after birth -- suggesting the effects may last a lifetime.

In this episode, I break down a troubling new study from Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine that examined rat offspring one year after their mothers were exposed to two point four five gigahertz radiation during pregnancy. The findings reveal significant structural changes, increased cell death, and DNA damage in the thyroid glands of exposed animals -- all from prenatal exposure alone.

What happens when a cell tower goes up outside your bedroom window, makes you sick, and the law says you have no right to do anything about it? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, R Blank sits down with health and environmental advocate Camilla Rees and attorney Scott McCollough to unpack one sentence buried in the 1996 Telecom Act that took away your town's power to stop a cell tower on health grounds. Thirty years later, courts have stretched that same sentence into a liability shield, so when the infrastructure outside your home makes you sick, the traditional remedies you would have against any other polluter simply do not exist. And right now, for the first time in decades, two federal agencies are finally asking the public what wireless exposure is doing to their health. Here's what you'll learn:
