The important reasons why bringing an induction stove into your home should be approached with caution as this technology is a source of excessive EMF toxicity as confirmed by scientific study. Even induction stove user manuals warn against standing too close!

They Exceed the ICNIRP Exposure Limits

The ICNIRP, or International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, is an organization that sets all the guidelines on the levels of EMF that electronic devices and electrical appliances can generate. Though many experts disagree with the ICNIRP guidelines, we have to appreciate the fact EMF is at least regulated.

But some studies say that the EMF emissions from some induction cooktops don’t even fall within the ICNIRP guidelines.

As just one of many examples, a research group from Switzerland says that “most induction hobs (rings) exceeded even the high 1998 maximum exposure levels set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) when a person was standing close to the induction stove.”

For this experiment, they analyzed the EMF emissions from 13 professional induction cooktops. They found that in most cases, the emission levels only matched the ICNIRP limits when the individual working on the device was at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from the appliance. And since it’s a cooking device, it’s virtually impossible to maintain a 1-foot distance.

Confirming this, Powerwatch UK also said, “When cooking with a magnetic induction hob, the whole body is highly exposed to EMFs, and hands and arms’ exposure exceeds the normal ICNIRP (not very precautionary) levels, which are set high and only protect against gross acute (immediate) effects. Induction hobs operating at 20 kHz can generate field levels 3 times higher than ICNIRP levels.”

Here are three independent of conflict of interest sources of safety information on induction cook tops…
My conclusion from what they say – NO NOT SAFE.

A new study published in The Lancet, a medical journal, has revealed that Covid-19 mandates such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and business closures, had no effect on the total number of deaths experienced as a result of the pandemic. With schools being shut down during the pandemic and the rise of remote learning, many states have seen a marked decrease in students reading and mathematics levels. The National Assessment of Educational Progress, issued in October of 2022, found that just 26 percent of eighth graders were proficient in math, down from 34 percent in 2019. 36 percent of fourth graders were proficient in math, down from 41 percent in 2019. Reading proficiency scores for fourth graders is at 33 percent, with eighth graders scoring 31 percent.

None of which benefit the body, just their bottom line!

Not quite. According to  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/05/09/fact-check-testosterone-levels-lower-25-1999-2016/7381735001/

The article refers to data from studies in 2007 and 2021, both of which looked at the testosterone levels of men in the United States.

Fact check: Experts say diet, exercise – not hormones – are primary drivers of weight gain

Both studies observed significant reductions in testosterone levels over time. In the 2007 study, testosterone decreased by about 22% when comparing 1985-1987 levels to those from 2002-2004. In the 2021 study, researchers found a roughly 25% decrease between 1999 and 2016.

These numbers mean that the claim in the Twitter post isn’t true, according to Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, a urologist at the Miami University Miller School of Medicine and author of the 2021 study.

“Neither of these studies assessed men over the last two decades, and the percent change was not close to 50%, so it is inaccurate to say that average testosterone has fallen almost 50% over the last 2 decades,” Ramasamy wrote in an email.
