DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 75-year-old man. I keep my cellphone in my left shirt pocket every day. Recently, my left nipple has become very sore. I asked my general physician about it, and he wasn’t concerned. I’m concerned that the electromagnetic field from the phone may be an issue. Is there any research on this, and should I have this checked more carefully?
— T.W.
ANSWER: Your physician was correct. Cellphones cannot produce frequencies with enough energy to damage tissues. It’s much more likely that the mechanical rubbing of the phone on your chest is causing the soreness. Just ask marathon runners, both men and women, about nipple soreness. It’s often called “runner’s nipple.” (There are specialized products to protect the nipple, or they use good ol’ bandages over the nipple while running. It’s all mechanical, even with a soft shirt.)
Put your phone in a different place, not because of the electromagnetic field but to keep it from rubbing against you.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My dentist recommends chewing gum after each meal to help clean my teeth. Most gum contains aspartame, xylitol and other chemicals. Do you think this is a good idea?
— J.S.
ANSWER: Your best bet to clean your teeth after meals is brushing and flossing your teeth. But if you can’t do this, sugar-free chewing gum does get rid of food particles, stimulates saliva flow, reduces bacteria, and reduces the risk of cavities from as low as 8% to as high as 40%.
Aspartame and xylitol are artificial sweeteners that don’t promote tooth decay. Xylitol in particular helps stop the growth of bacteria. Aspartame is one of the most studied chemicals ever, and the small amounts of it in chewing gum have almost no health risks. Sugar alcohols like xylitol and mannitol can cause diarrhea in sensitive people when taken in high-enough doses, but this is usually due to sugar-free (“diet”) beverages, cookies or pastries.
Remember that everything you eat, drink, touch or breathe is made of chemicals. Even if they have long or difficult-to-pronounce names, they still may be helpful or even necessary for your health and well-being if taken the right way at the right dose and concentration.
