Dr. Andrew Huberman Shocks Bill Maher With Facts About Negative Health Effects Of LED Bulbs & Pros Of Incandescents
"People’s vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day," says popular neuroscientist.
TL;DR
- Incandescent bulbs emit long wavelength light that studies suggest helps human mitochondria function, increases ATP production, and boosts metabolism.
- LED bulbs, commonly used indoors, emit short wavelength light that, in the absence of long wavelength light, may damage mitochondria.
- Exposure to incandescent light and sunlight, which contains long wavelength light, has been linked to improved vision due to better mitochondrial function.
- Incandescent bulbs and sun exposure may also contribute to better blood glucose regulation.
- The idea that LED lighting could disrupt mitochondrial function was once considered a fringe conspiracy theory but is now supported by emerging research.
