Title: Does Earth's magnetic field harm human health?

Paul Anderson  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi Chris and team,

If a couple of identical twins live in the same location all their lives with one sleeping with his bed north to south, and the other sleeps with his bed east to west, how would that affect them if at all? I am wondering about the earth's magnetic field in this discussion.

What do you think?

I'm not entirely sure. It depends soley on not having any experimental data for the theory.

If sleeping a certain way was detrimental to our health we probably would have evolved to only sleep the good way.

I agree.
