Also, I couldn’t see links to studies concluding that EMF breaks down the blood-brain barrier and elevates cortisol levels.

The aspartame paper is interesting – thanks for pointing us to it.

Both dock on the same receptors in the brain, causing cravings for carbohydrates. Aspartame breaks down the blood-brain barrier, allowing toxins directly into the brain. Microwaves from mobile phones and masts have the same effect and they elevate the cortisol levels.
