Modern Lightbulbs Are Screwing With Your Health, Admits New Scientist Mag

Quote: LEDs emit essentially no light beyond roughly 750 nanometres. Glass designed to block heat transfer filters out infrared. The result, according to researchers cited in the New Scientist piece, is the loss of approximately 95 per cent of the relevant spectrum for people who spend the bulk of their time indoorsup to 90 per cent of the day for many....

The biological mechanism is now understood. Red and near-infrared light accelerate the electron transport chain inside mitochondria, increasing production of ATP, the cells primary energy currency. This process, termed photometabolism by former astrophysicist Bob Fosbury, is not incidental; life on Earth evolved for billions of years under sunlight rich in these wavelengths....

Epidemiological signals reinforce the laboratory data. Analysis of nearly 88,000 people in their sixties showed that greater daylight exposure was associated with significantly lower risk of dementia over eight years.

Comment: Infrared light activates a number of enzymes, including copper based ones which can speed healing by 20 percent.
