I have no data on this.

So many people put their laptop right on their stomach while using it.

When I measure the energy coming off of my laptop, the different types of electrical energy, it’s somewhat high. I almost always put it on a pillow before putting it on my stomach. I know many devices are FCC approved, but I don’t know if the FCC takes hours of use on a stomach into account.

Have researchers ruled out this as a possible cause of the increased rate of colorectal cancers?

(Also is the flouride in my water making me see conspiracies that don’t really exist?)

I’ve just been wondering about this recently and there are so many smart people on lemmy I figured someone here would have a smart opinion on this. I know the prevailing theory is colorectal cancers are possibly due to more ultra-processed foods, but has anyone thought about laptops? Is this illogical as a possible cause? It may be that the energy levels aren’t high enough to be a cause or that the colon is too far away from a laptop on a stomach to impact anything.

    To add to this the heat being radiated is more dangerous than the EM coming off the laptop. If that gives you the idea of how not dangerous EMs fields are in normal devices.
