The Hidden Harms of Modern Lighting
- Sunlight is one of the most important things for our health (e.g., in a 20-year Swedish observational cohort, sun avoidance was associated with higher all-cause mortality), yet all we ever hear is how important it is to avoid it
- Energy efficient light bulbs emit a narrow, blue-heavy spectrum that disrupts sleep and metabolism, while lacking the infrared our mitochondria depend upon
- Decades of forgotten research (now being confirmed by modern studies) suggest unnatural light may contribute to a range of physical and behavioral problems
- The eyes and the blood conduct light throughout the body, and when this process is disrupted (e.g., by glasses), this may have health consequences — an idea that remains outside mainstream medicine
- In 2022, incandescent bulbs were effectively banned because their infrared was scored as "waste." A Senate bill now aims to bring them back
