Electricity link to Type III diabetes

Chennai:
Now stay away from computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs to escape from diabetes, if researchers are to be believed.

International researchers have found that electro-pollution causes Type III diabetes and Indian researchers from Chennai taking the cue from it are planning to study how the genes could be affected by dirty electricity resulting in Type III diabetes.

Prof S M Rajendran of Barath University’s Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital said that the new research centre for Diabetes and Obesity, which was opened on Wednesday, will study how dirty electricity results in increase in blood sugar as well as how it effects the genes.

Prof Rajendran, who is also former head of the department of medicine and diabetology in Stanley Medical College said that plans are on to tie up with Indian Council for Medical Research and United Kingdom’s Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow. He said the management has agreed to fund the research by offering Rs 25 lakh.

Interestingly, the study is planned after it was found out that Type-3 diabetics experience spikes in blood sugar and an increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution after exposed to computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Interestingly, Trent University in Canada recently published the results of a study conducted on the relationship between electromagnetic fields and diabetes  in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine.

Prof Rajendran said even the treadmills, which are suggested to cut down blood sugar, does the opposite by increasing blood sugars.
