1) In Arthur Firstenberg’s most recent newsletter, he ponders the possible relationship between the increase in osteoporosis (even in children) and the increase in wireless radiation to which we are exposed during our daily lives.
WIRELESS RADIATION AND OSTEOPOROSIS
“I was astonished by the number of people who contacted me after I broke my arm telling me they had broken theirs too — some of them this year, and others within the last few years.

And, big surprise, the parents aren’t winning. Because it’s not just their children they’re up against, but also a tech industry pushing products that insiders say are designed to be addictive and a society that has largely capitulated to the norms and urges and expectations all those phones and apps have created….
