Summary

Dr. Hansler is a physicist with over 40 years of research in the lighting industry. We discuss the effects of artificial light on one of your master antioxidant hormones also known as melatonin. We call out the problem that lighting companies are having with truth or profit. They have the knowledge that artificial light is bad, but they do not want to reveal the dangers. We talk about depression and the dangers that artificial light at night time presents, especially for pregnant women! Please write a review for the show in iTunes to help this message get out.
