In her new book, Zapped, Ann Louise Gittleman, who was named one of the country’s Top Ten Nutritionists by Self Magazine and a Pioneer in the 21st Century Approach to Optimum Health by Total Health for Longevity Magazine, reminds us that we are all being zapped twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, by a staggering amount of electromagnetic fields.

Cell phones. Wi-fi. Your microwave. Even your alarm clock. They’re all zapping you.  Her book explains why you should be concerned and what you can do about it.

And while not everyone buys into the belief that all these EMFs can affect our health and well-being, we do know that they can affect bees.

Yep, bees. Those buzzing little guys that we rely on for honey and pollination.

This year, CNN World reported that scientists in India had conducted an experiment where they strapped cell phones to bee hives and powered up the phones for just two 15-minute periods each day. After three months, the hives were no longer producing honey and the size of the hives had decreased significantly.

Sure makes me want to think twice – or three times! – before holding my cell phone to my head!

Of course, the delightful bee hives printed on today’s VPOD won’t be affected one bit by a cell phone’s EMFs. This vintage 1970s sweater by Gill Gibb is flirty and colorful but it’s even more adorable when paired with its matching knit choker.

It’s a buzz-worthy find for a vintage fashionista!
