A study published in Frontiers in Aging by Oregon State University researchers led by Dr. Jadwiga Giebultowicz says that blue light from screens makes you age faster after studies on fruit flies.
Obesity and psychological issues have been linked to excessive screen use. The blue light emitted by these devices may have an impact on our basic cellular processes, according to a recent study on fruit flies. These results are published in Frontiers in Aging (pdf below).
"Excessive exposure to blue light from everyday devices, such as TVs, laptops, and phones, may have detrimental effects on a wide range of cells in our body, from skin and fat cells, to sensory neurons," said Dr. Jadwiga Giebultowicz, professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University and senior author of this study. "We are the first to show that the levels of specific metabolites – chemicals that are essential for cells to function correctly – are altered in fruit flies exposed to blue...
