Is Artificial LAN Responsible For Diabetes?

 As absurd as the correlation between diabetes and lights sounds, it is worth giving a thought. Especially, nighttime exposure to artificial light may have negative health impacts.


Overnight artificial light pollution (LAN) from outdoor sources affects about 80% of the world's population. And when exposed it can increase the risk of diabetes, according to a recent study.


How does Artificial LAN raise the risk of Diabetes?

Acute LAN exposure can change the profile of several hormones, including melatonin and cortisol. It also affects the circadian clock. These physiological alterations could be a factor in the abnormalities in glucose metabolism. 


Further analyses revealed that groups with the highest exposure to artificial LAN had a 28% higher chance of developing diabetes.


Risks of Artificial LAN

Research from the past indicates that artificial LAN light pollution can harm people's health. Artificial LAN exposure has been related in several studies from sleep difficulties, and anxiety to mood disorders, and obesity. Artificial LAN has also been linked in research to a higher risk of developing several cancers.
