Exposure to 835MHz RF-EMF induces hyperactivity and demyelination in mice (2017)

I think it's less about the heating of body tissue, but how EM fields affect the body's own bio-electric functions.

There's no way getting around the fact that electrically charged particles are affected by EM fields.

At that level of generality you need to remember that light from a lamp is also an EM field.

Radiant heat from a fireplace is infrared - also an EM field.

We know that UV light, which starts around 400 nm, causes damage beyond its heating effects, so yes, EM fields in general can be a problem.

But 835 MHz is about 30 cm wavelength - far larger than the size of the cells, much less the molecules in the cell.

With 25+ years of research, including epidemiological studies of people working with or living near high-power transmitters, there's very little evidence that RF causes problems beyond simple heating.

This seems over confident that what we see in terms of measures is all there is in terms of health.

Why does it not seem like reasonable confidence?
