_(NaturalNews) Most people are familiar with type-1 diabetes and type-2 diabetes, but did you know researchers have discovered a third type of diabetes? Type-3 diabetes, as they are calling it, affects people who are extra sensitive to electrical devices that emit "dirty" electricity.
Type-3 diabetics actually experience spikes in blood sugar and an increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution ("electropollution") from things like computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Researchers compared semen samples from 29 men in good health. Some of the samples were placed under a laptop with Wi-Fi, while others were held at the same temperature away from the computer. In the Wi-Fi sample, 25% had stopped swimming compared to less than 1/6 in the samples not directly exposed to the wireless signal.

The reason energy and appliance companies are pushing smart meters is because they're already producing home and office devices that can communicate with smart meters. Even without that, research has shown that, with appropriate software installed, smart meters can read electric "load signatures" and identify different household devices.
And if "privacy really is a non-issue," the writer should let security experts around the world know, because it's hard to find one that doesn't describe wireless digital metering systems as securityporous surveillance operations. The B.C. privacy commissioner is midway through her analysis of the myriad privacy concerns.
