Okay. Are you wearing AirPods on a
0:01
flight? Never. I don't use AirPods at
0:02
all. So, now we're into the realm of
0:04
EMF, which is electromagnetic fields.
0:06
And this gets complicated, but I'll try
0:08
and keep it simple. What we're talking
0:09
about now is radio frequency EMF. So, RF
0:12
EMF. There's also ELF, which is extra
0:14
low frequency EMF. That's like what's
0:16
coming out of the outlets in your house.
0:18
That's a different type of EMF. When
0:19
we're talking about Wi-Fi or cell phones
0:22
or AirPods, we're talking about radio
0:23
frequency EMF. Now, interestingly, this
0:26
is the same thing that's coming out of
0:27
your microwave oven. It's ex basically
0:29
the exact same frequency. Your cell
0:31
phone, these AirPods, it's just like a
0:33
microwave. So, you can get these EMF
0:35
detectors and look at this frequency,
0:37
this RF band of EMF, and you turn on the
0:40
microwave and you can see a number.
0:42
It'll tell you how many microwatts per
0:44
meter squared are coming out of the
0:45
microwave. When you move away from the
0:47
microwave when it's on a few feet, and
0:48
you'll get like a million microwatts per
0:50
meter squared. And when you turn on your
0:52
AirPods, right when they are pinging
0:55
trying to uh connect with a device or
0:57
throughout the time you're wearing them,
0:58
you'll get similar numbers with AirPods
1:00
in your ears. 700,000 a million
1:03
microwatts per meter squared. The
1:05
difference is that you might wear
1:07
AirPods 6 hours a day. They are. And
1:09
especially, you know, who's doing this
1:10
is the teenagers. Yeah. Every moment of
1:13
life, they just it's like a it's almost
1:15
like a comfort thing. They just leave
1:17
the AirPods in their ears. And we don't
1:19
really know what's going on. We don't
1:22
know what the long-term effects of this
1:23
on humans are. We've never really
1:24
studied it. We are living an experiment
1:26
in so many ways. The push back that you
1:28
get on this is people will say this is
1:30
not ionizing radiation, right? This is
1:32
not like X-rays or radiation that
1:34
actually ionizes or causes direct DNA
1:36
damage. And nobody is saying that RF EMF
1:38
is ionizing. But just because it's not
1:41
ionizing doesn't mean that it's not
1:42
harmful or able to affect biological
1:45
systems. And there are many research
1:47
papers. The research here is a little
1:48
bit unclear and probably isn't well
1:50
funded for a reason. We don't really
1:52
understand. There are certainly studies
1:53
that suggest that it could affect
1:54
biological systems at the level of cell
1:56
membranes, at the level of potassium
1:58
channels, at the level of calcium
1:59
channels. So, we're talking about
2:00
microscopic channels being affected. So,
2:02
we don't really understand this and I
2:04
think it's just the better part of
2:05
safety to think like, should I really be
2:07
doing that? Like, do I get headaches?
2:09
Look, if you're not having an issue with
2:10
any of this stuff, keep living your
2:12
life. Keep using the AirPods and rocking
2:13
your life. But if somebody has headaches
2:15
or mood swings, you know, like why not
2:18
just change and see is this affecting
2:19
me. This may be completely in my
2:21
imagination, but maybe you've
2:22
experienced this too. I think about EMF
2:25
a lot. So most of the time my phone is
2:27
on airplane and when I do have my phone
2:29
off of airplane and I'm using it in my
2:30
hand, I can feel it in my hand. Really?
2:33
Yes. Oh my gosh. And I think like what
2:35
is going on there? Right. I don't want
2:37
to be carrying that around like in my
2:39
pocket of my jeans. And there's actually
2:40
studies in men that associate cell phone
2:43
wearing on your pants with lower sperm
2:45
counts, too. So, there's a lot of things
2:47
pointing in the direction that some of
2:48
this stuff could be harmful for men at
2:50
the level of testicles or women with
2:52
ovaries or women with their breast
2:53
tissue. And we don't really know. I
2:55
mean, putting an EMF signal through your
2:57
brain for hours a day. What's who knows?
3:00
Recently, I had said that something
3:01
online like I was like, "Oh, I don't
3:02
believe in microwaves. I don't use
3:03
them." And my audience was like, "Wait,
3:04
what? Microwaves are bad?" So, they
3:05
don't know. So, so what would you say
3:07
about microwaves? So again, we're back
3:09
to the cell phones and the the RFMF with
3:12
the AirPods. At one level, if you turn
3:15
the microwave on, you don't want to
3:17
stand in front of the microwave. And
3:18
that's what our parents were telling us
3:19
as kids. I remember having a microwave
3:21
in my house as a child and staring at
3:24
the food in the microwave. And my mom
3:25
would say, "Move away from the
3:26
microwave." Well, that's why like you're
3:28
getting this RF EMF at pretty high
3:30
levels. It'd basically be like standing
3:32
in front of a Wi-Fi router all day. And
3:35
who we just don't fully understand how
3:37
that's affecting biological systems.
3:38
Then secondarily, there's this question
3:40
of whether using microwaves to heat the
3:43
food, which is moving the water
3:45
molecules in the food, changes the
3:46
molecular structure. Is it making
3:48
healthy food less healthy? I don't know.
3:50
I mean, intuitively, I feel like it's
3:51
probably not a great thing, but I
3:52
haven't seen any real solid evidence to
3:55
say that it's like toxic if you put it
3:56
in the microwave. I think there are
3:58
there's just easier ways around it.
3:59
Yeah. I also think food tastes better
4:01
cooked on the stove, but maybe that's
4:02
just a personal preference.
