Energy-efficient bulbs may impact health and raise diabetes risk
A study by neuroscientists reveals potential risks associated with energy-efficient bulbs (LEDs), indicating that the blue light they emit may harm the health of mitochondria within cells, potentially leading to disorders such as diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Based on research involving mice, some studies have shown a reduction in mitochondrial activity by about 50% due to daily exposure to blue light, affecting liver function and metabolism. However, the European scientific committee has found no direct evidence of harmful health effects on humans during normal use, though it confirmed that lighting impacts sleep cycles and the biological clock. Researchers warn that these risks constitute a public health emergency and emphasize the need for action.
