Science & health claims · @BelowHeadline
I keep seeing the same scary claims about phones, 5G and earbuds. Each article here takes one, reads the studies underneath it, explains the basic science with the researchers' names attached, and then says how sure anyone can be.
PHONES · FERTILITY
Swiss scientists found the pocket didn’t matter for sperm. Something else did, and it faded as phones got newer.
EARBUDS · RADIATION · HEARING
The ‘250 scientists’ petition never mentioned AirPods. The real danger in your earbuds is the volume.
5G · RADIATION
The scariest 5G study online is real. Here’s the part the posts cut, and what 63 later studies found.
What went viral, paraphrased. No creators named, no accounts shown.
The strongest case for the worry, stated fairly. Most scary posts start from a real study.
What the research actually measured, who did it, and what it can and can't tell us.
A verdict on the Depth Gauge, after the evidence, never before it.
What I do with it, clearly marked as opinion, not evidence.
