The article I read said that in the 60’s and 70’s the Japan health authorities were worried about the levels of cancers, stokes and heart attacks being recorded and studies pointed to excess salt being a key problem. It seems Japan has made significant progress in reducing salt in their diets since then. Whereas in countries like the UK (and pretty much all western countries) the rise in convenience meals and take-aways has significantly increased the salt intake, on average.
I do not have data to confirm or challenge the notion that Japanese consume more salt that the British. Did you find such info?
Lincs, was thinking more of spouses and offsprings.

Fair point.
I could ask the same question about making more offspring but I guess that wouldn’t work for everyone…

I think salt is a very small piece in a very large jigsaw.
There are much more dangerous things lurking in our everyday lives that are reducing our life expectancy.
The amount of chemicals used on a daily basis in cleaning, laundry and cosmetics is frightening. Not to mention that the jury is still out concerning RF waves…

probably the cause of the mental health crisis particularly in young people, not that I can prove this but nobody really understands how this affects brain development yet

Tricky one, people are more likely to be in the blame chain, than a few erratic radio waves.

it’s amazing how you feel the next day after sleeping on a mountain bunk house or hostel with no electricity, waking up as nature intended. You can live with all the radio waves going through your body and brain but it’s not the same as really feeling alive

Mmmmnn, one has to actively seek those sensations and special moments, heaven forbid they become “run of the mill”.
That’s an interesting observation Annie, perhaps it’s why I’ve always had a passion to ‘Get away from it all’ and seek out the remote places.It’s getting increasingly difficult to find these places now after being subject to the slow creep of wind turbines, solar panels and Lithium battery storage facilities, collectively doing the job that just one coal or gas fired power station previously achieved.
Electricity is relatively a new thing considering the length of time that humans have inhabited this planet. People call you a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ for even suggesting that electricity, magnetism and RF waves are contributing to cancer and other diseases or mutations that seem to occur on a more regular basis than they used to.
People don’t want to accept that the long term exposure could produce adverse results, not just in the present population, but in their offspring, and because technology is now an essential part of everyone’s life.
Could technology be the lesser of two evils and we are prepared to accept the consequences?
In our little village back in the early sixties there was a spate of unexplained brain tumours. I know of about five or six people who died young at the time. The largest power station in Europe at the time was situated less than one mile from the village with it’s associated connecting pylons radiating out to town and cities.
Coincidence?

There is quite a long list of likely causes of cancer and diseases. Radio waves are not on that list. Instead the list includes chemicals, pollution, smoke, excessive UV exposure, processed meat, obesity, excessive alcohol. This is not my opinion, I’ve simply copied it out from a few reliable sources - such as below.

I wasn’t thinking about brain tumour and cancer risk OGF, but about the potential link between our mental illness epidemic and the vast increase in rollout of this radio wave tech. This would be far more difficult to prove, but to say that our young people are so anxious and stressed purely because of lockdown is a nonsense.
Anyway the link to the original thread topic is that mental illness and reduced life expectancy are very much linked. In the past this would have been linked to alcohol or drug abuse, but incidence of that is falling in young people (I believe) it’s not so trendy and fewer smoke or drink to excess (as compared with my Gen X)

Do you mean the actual waves or how the waves are being employed - that is, social media on phones? Certainly there appears to be a strong correlation between stress, mental illness & depression and issues related to social media use & abuse.

Hi
The only way of resolving this electronic issue and Radio Frequency causing Cancers is really very simple.
To be statistically significant,it will have to be undertaken for an absolute minimum of 5 years.
Ten years would be more accurate.
You start with the most significant sources of the electromagnetic radiation.
It is a fairly simple process of elimination.
You start by shutting down the most significant sources of radiation.
Lowest frequencies first, then moving upwards.
So, no more radio, TV, Radar, 3, 4 and 5g mobiles.
No more CAT or MRI Scans until proven they are not the source
/Microwaves also gone, Bank Card Readers, etc etc.
This is not what I want.
Is it what you want to prove you may be right about electromagnetic emissions causing deaths in humans?

I was thinking about the effect of the exponential increase in waves on the development of the brain in the womb and childhood/adolescence. It’s impossible to assess any of this as there are too many confounding variables.
Scientists are working on using ways to alter brain structure or chemistry using radio frequency technology. This is on the basis of evidence that it can affect neural stimulation and influence various brain activities. There’s no way to prove any of this other than the way I felt when wifi was first introduced. I’ve got used to it I guess.
I’m sure when some were saying smoking is harmful, people would say it’s not the cigarettes, it’s the pollution or other factors

I can see that it is tempting to link the dramatic increase in radio wave presence over the last hundred or so years with cancer, illness and health problems. But why would so many esteemed research bodies state so very clearly there is no link? And are there not so many other changes and new stuff that has come into common use over the last hundred years or so? Here is my top of mind list
- forever chemicals
- stainless steel
- most polycarbons and plastics … and their micro plastic residual presence
- electricity, high voltage, low voltage - all the variants
- cars, car tyres
- penicillin, aspirin, antacids
- artificial food colouring, sweetening and flavouring
- factory raised chickens
- artificial fertilizers
- chelates in animal feed (ok, I knew artificial animal feeds really only took off in the 1950’s but I had to look up the correct term for feeds with added mineral salts)
This list could go on and on. I suspect there are dozens of things now in common use that did not exist previously. And it might be one, or two or many or a combination of a few that are driving the increase in serious illness. Why pick on radio waves when there are so many other candidates? Perhaps you are aware of radio waves and less aware of chelates?

Hi Lincs I’m not linking them with cancer illness and health problems, I’m saying there’s a probable link between foetal, infant, child and adolescent brain development, the mental illness epidemic among young people and the huge increase in high frequency waves we have seen in the last 20 or so years. They are passing through our brain tissue all the time and it would be interesting to know what effect that has on the developmental stage of the brain. Scientists are exploring the use of radio waves to change our brains (for the benefit of trying to treat some mental illnesses), so if they think they can change the way the brain functions using this tech, it makes it feasible to expect that the brain’s development (when the cells are very elastic) could also be affected by the massive rise of radio waves going through every single person that’s living on the grid.

Thanks and I understand the potential.
I do not understand why you exclude all the other possible causes.

because I am not talking about cancer or other physical illness, and most of the things you list have been around for far longer than this mental health crisis. I’m talking about recent changes not the last 100 years.
It’s impossible to prove any links anyway, there are too many variables. I only know that I felt fantastic sleeping off grid. That’s just something I’ve noticed. But I don’t go around wearing a tin foil hat.

We just have to wait, and see if this crisis is a real crisis, only time will tell.
