Do you ever wonder if your cell phone, computer, tablet, and television are making you sick? Everyday we are bombarded with a constant stream of Electromagnetic Forces (EMFs) from our many electronic devices. These EMFs may be invisible, but the potential negative impact on our health is not. This slideshow explores electro-pollution and its effect on your hormones and health. It also provides everyday solutions to help minimize the negative effects from EMFs.
