Could using your phone or tablet at night give you a sweet tooth?
Light emitted by phones or tablets at night causes sugar cravings and could lead to weight gain, a study on rats has shown.Just one hour of exposure to blue light – the artificial light given off by technology –was found to affect the rat’s appetite and make it more likely to eat unhealthy food the next day. Their blood sugar levels also shot up, suggesting the animals were unable to process the sugar in their body, a warning sign of pre-diabetes. It’s the latest in a slew of damning evidence against using phones too much at night – scientists have said in the past it could lead to obesity.
Well then!
