In a society dominated by screens, scientists and physicians are raising alarms about the potential dangers of blue light exposure.
Phones, computers and LED lighting emit blue light, which some researchers argue is damaging human health, fertility and even cognitive stability.
Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon and advocate of decentralized medicine, shared his findings in an interview with Rift TV host Elijah Schaffer.
He outlined how blue light disrupts hormones, fertility, mental health, and, in his view, may even influence gender identity.
“Testosterone is destroyed by blue light exposure,” Kruse told Schaffer.
He explained that in the human visual system, photoreceptors contain chemicals called opsins.
When blue light strikes them, the detector melanopsin breaks off vitamin A.
“The vitamin A becomes a wrecking ball and it destroys your hormone panel,” he said.
This process, Kruse stated, damages a critical heme protein known as the CYP enzyme, which plays a vital role in hormone production.
“It dehydrates it, and iron changes its oxidation state. That’s the reason you can’t make your testosterone,” he said, comparing the effect to barren landscapes on Mars.
Kruse argues that society-wide exposure to artificial blue light—from classrooms to big-box retailers like Walmart—carries broad consequences.
“You tend
