About this episode
The episode discusses how sixty hertz magnetic fields can alter protein function and behavior in living organisms, particularly in worms.
New research shows that sixty hertz magnetic fields -- the same frequency as our electrical power grid -- can alter protein function and change behavior in living organisms. Scientists exposed worms to power-line frequency magnetic fields and discovered their feeding behavior shifted from social to solitary patterns. The magnetic field directly affected how receptor proteins functioned in the worms' nervous systems, demonstrating a biological pathway through which electromagnetic fields interact with cellular communication. In This Episode How sixty hertz magnetic fields alter protein function The connection between electromagnetic fields and behavior changes Why power-line frequency research matters for human health Featured Study Read the full study: Kakikawa M, Kenmochi A, Yamada S See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research
