Why Is Our Blood Red and How Does Induction Heating Work?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the topic of induction cooking and its historical context, particularly in the United States compared to Europe. Participants note that while induction heating technology has been around for decades, its availability in residential markets in the U.S. has been limited, with many brands having exited the market. There is a sense of surprise regarding the recent introduction of induction cooktops in America, likening it to the slow adoption of fluorescent bulbs. The conversation also touches on safety concerns related to electromagnetic (EM) fields generated by induction stoves, with participants debating their potential health impacts. Some share findings on the strength of EM fields from induction stoves compared to other household appliances, suggesting that the levels are not significantly higher. The discussion highlights a mix of nostalgia for older technologies and curiosity about the implications of newer cooking methods.

How do you know that protein folding is altered by an electromagnetic field? Nuclear magnetic resonance is used to determine protein structure, and this is done in a 900 MHz magnetic field by a 21.1 Tesla magnet.
