View Original AbstractChronic cell tower radiation at 900 MHz caused measurable oxidative stress in rats, but antioxidant-rich sesame oil provided partial protection.
Plain English Summary
Egyptian researchers exposed rats to 900 MHz radiation from a mobile phone base station for 8 weeks and found it caused oxidative stress (cellular damage from unstable molecules) and disrupted cholesterol levels and antioxidant enzymes. When rats were also given sesame oil during exposure, many of these harmful effects were reduced, suggesting the oil's antioxidants provided some protection against the radiation damage.
Why This Matters
This study adds to mounting evidence that chronic exposure to cell tower radiation can disrupt our body's natural defense systems against oxidative stress. The 900 MHz frequency used here is identical to what many cell towers emit, making these findings directly relevant to the millions of people living near these installations. What makes this research particularly interesting is the protective effect of sesame oil's antioxidants, which suggests that EMF-induced oxidative stress may be one pathway through which wireless radiation affects our health. While we shouldn't rely on dietary supplements as our primary defense against EMF exposure, this study reinforces that reducing exposure remains the most logical approach to protecting our cellular health from wireless radiation.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 900 MHz Duration: 24 h/day for 8 weeks
Study Details
The present study was undertaken to shed the light on the environmental threats associated with the wireless revolution and the health hazards associated with exposure to mobile base station (MBS).The present study was undertaken to shed the light on the environmental threats associated with the wireless revolution and the health hazards associated with exposure to mobile base station (MBS).

In conclusion, all results of the current study proved that sesame oil can be used as an edible oil to attenuate the oxidative stress which could be yielded as a result of chronic exposure to EMR.
