Wi-Fi and obesity, what do they have in common ?. According to some experts, there is a close relationship between the exposure of pregnant women to electromagnetic fields from wi-fi and the obesity problems of the unborn child.
To reveal this correlation is a new one study led by a team of experts fromOakland University in California, also published in the scientific journal Nature's Scientific Reports.
According to American scientists, women who during the period of gestation are found frequently exposed to the electromagnetic fields of Wi-Fi would be 69% more likely to see an obese future arise.
In fact, the dangers generated by the widespread diffusion of electromagnetic waves (given by cell phones, microwaves and wi-fi) are nothing new, but today - with this new discovery - the picture is broadening and becoming even more worrying, because directly affects children's health.
According to the Codacons, the increasingly massive spread of wi-fi devices, now present in almost all private homes and public offices, it has become a real one health hazard; for this reason, the consumers' association is asking to put a stop to the indiscriminate multiplication of devices.
From what emerges from the American study, electromagnetic fields would affect the glucose metabolism, thus generating obesity problems.
Scientists came to this conclusion by examining a large sample of 1063 women pregnant, who at the time of the test were between 3 and 15 weeks of gestation, and their children, followed by doctors from birth to 13 years of age.
But there's more, because the wi-fi would also generate other pathologies in the unborn child: In addition to damaging the endocrine and metabolic systems of children, contact with electromagnetic waves could also compromise the quality of sperm in adult men, cause spontaneous abortions and increase the chances of childhood asthma.
To this is added the problem ofelectrosensitivity, or when various disorders occur, such as headache and tachycardia, caused by frequent exposure to magnetic, electric or electromagnetic fields.
According l 'WHO (World Health Organization) to suffer from this disease is between 1% and 3% of the world population, but even today - despite the numbers - it is still not considered a real disease.
To avoid all this, according to the Codacons, the wi-fi should be disabled in all public places mostly frequented by pregnant women, such as hospitals and clinics, public parks, kindergartens, primary schools and libraries.
