Read MoreWatch out for excessive electromagnetic field radiation from your Fitbit. One YouTuber measured his Fitbit Charge HR hitting 480 mW/m2—nowhere near the recommended safe range of <10 mW/m2 during the day and only half that at night, as our bodies absorb more EMF/EMR radiation when asleep than awake.
Read MoreThe U.S. federal government ruled again in 2017 that cannabis—an adaptogenic herb like ashwaganda— has no medicinal value and is as highly addictive as heroin.
