AIRPORT FULL-BODY SCANNERS DESTROY DNA: February 22nd, 2010

This arrived in my Inbox from a friend — exciting reading just before hopping aboard — tomorrow morning Costa Rica via Los Angeles. I guess I’m going to be packing a few extra oils… like BrainPower to keep a few of those cells intact!

Extract:

Alexandrov and co have created a model to investigate how THz fields interact with double-stranded DNA and what they’ve found is remarkable. They say that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. That’s a jaw dropping conclusion.
