We investigate the possibility of testing the Einstein equivalence principle (EEP) using measurements of anomalous magnetic moments of elementary particles. We compute the one-loop correction for the g-2 anomaly within the class of nonmetric theories of gravity described by the THεμ formalism. We find several novel mechanisms for breaking the EEP whose origin is due purely to radiative corrections. We discuss the possibilities of setting new empirical constraints on these effects.
