Exposure to the blue light emitted by cell phones and tablets in young age can increase a child's risk of early onset puberty and can even damage their fertility in the future, a new study finds.A Turkish research team found that blue light increased the levels of reproductive hormones in rats that were regularly exposed to it, causing them to go through puberty earlier and suffer changes to their ovaries that could potentially damage future fertility.The dangers of blue light to sleep have long been explored and reported on, but experts fear that the rampant use of smartphones and tablets among the youth could be more harmful than anyone could have previously imagined.
