> "With the added cell phone towers all over the place : 4G and LTE and wiFi waves, smart waves, in the air all around us, cell towers are putting out 2450 Hz (micro-wave), 2100 - 2300 Hz. signals, we are bombarded with them! Wireless transmission towers for radio, TV, telecommunications, radar and many other applications, emit radio frequency radiation (RFR). Radio frequency radiation covers a large segment of the electromagnetic spectrum and falls within the non-ionizing bands, producing acidic bodies in water, plants, animals and humans. These high frequencies knock the energy(electrons) out of the water, the plants the animals the humans, etc. The water becomes positively charged into more acidic water, which means more incidents of cancer. If you want to do your body good! you want to drink negatively charged water. A body with a strong immune system, from drinking negatively charged water.<

(322 posts)This is pure unscientific BullS#t, from a deliberate moron. Not a clue about how any of this really works. The sun gives out far much more "RFR" than anything we produce. EOM

Depletion of ozone in the upper atmosphere due to human activity has increased the incidence of skin cancer from UV exposure.
So while the OP may be unscientific garbage used to sell something, the fact is that humans have vastly increased the amount of various forms of radiation that we live in and that our bodies did not evolve with.

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

(4,187 posts)I'm sorry, but as someone who earned a Ph.D. in physics, I feel sick to my stomach when I see people putting words together, thinking that's all it takes to do physics. Physics is based on mathematical theories and quantitative experiments. You can try to express the mathematical results in words, but the words don't form the basis of the physics; to move forward, you always have to go back to the mathematics. You can put big words together to make impressive sentences, but that doesn't make them true.
In this case, the radiation being discussed is non-ionizing, so it cannot knock electrons out of anything. The photons that make up the radiation simply don't have enough energy to knock an electron off its orbit. This is a mathematical and experimentally tested fact; it is not just a sentence someone made up to sound impressive.

And if water were either positively or negatively charged, it would not stay together, since the charged water molecules would repel each other. There is no such thing as "negatively charged water". Note that, "acidic" is not synonymous with "positively charged".

Vast amount of BS and ignorance on that website. (Maybe a hoax? But probably not...)
