Comment on Are Increased Colorectal Cancers Rates Linked to Using Laptops on Stomachs?
HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoWhile I agree with the fact that no it has barely an effect and the FDA says the EMF from devices are well below levels to cause any concern, I found this article and skimmed through it found that:
“Why is colon cancer on the rise? Researchers are still trying to get the answers they need, but several theories have evolved. Some research suggests the increased CRC cases may be caused by exposure to environmental pollutants (9) like nickel, arsenic, benzene, and cadmium. They believe the exposure may be due to EMF (Electromagnetic frequencies) emitted by phones, laptops, and other electronic devices. Previous studies revealed EMF can lead to failing health.”

However, I had to go through many pages of Google for this answer while others said otherwise. Also, it may be biased as this is a service for radiation related testing etc. there are some citations in the article that seem credible but they are just stating possible theories and testing. No peer reviewed paper found with anything linking the two.
Tl;Dr: it’s okay to use a laptop on your stomach, many of us do. EMF levels too low to do anything. Studies are still early in their development and there is no concern ATM.

“Safesleevecases.com”. I think they’re selling you something as opposed to reporting news.

Yes that is why I mentioned it is a radiation testing service. But the article cites some ‘credible-looking’ sources, it is just to show anyone can support a claim by searching enough through Google and finding something that seems credible to spread misinformation. I am thinking OP may have heard something on the media claiming this citing something similar, that is why I was determined to find something that tried to link the two. Most of the results said it was completely safe.
