Are TSA Scanners Reprogramming Your DNA?

Are TSA Scanners Reprogramming Your DNA?

Extended exposure to broad-spectrum terahertz radiation, such as the type used in airport scanners, can result in specific changes in cellular functions that are closely related to DNA-directed gene transcription.

Although 89 percent of protein coding genes do not respond to applied terahertz radiation, among the rest certain genes are activated, while other are repressed.

According to a study, as reported by Green Med Info:

"Our findings suggest that the applied terahertz irradiation accelerates cell differentiation toward adipose phenotype by activating the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) ... We propose that THz radiation is a potential tool for cellular reprogramming."
