The review, published Tuesday, Sept. 3, was conducted by 11 investigators from 10 countries who analyzed 63 studies from 1994 to 2022. The panel of experts assessed the effects of radio frequencies, most commonly used in cellphones, TV, baby monitors and radar.
The investigators determined there was no increased risk of brain cancer in adults and children due to radio waves.
The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer currently classifies radio wave exposure as “possibly carcinogenic,” meaning it could not rule out a possible link based on evidence at the time. But now, in light of this new data, there are calls for that classification to be reevaluated.
FOR THOSE WATCHING THIS REPORT ON YOUR CELLPHONE – WHICH IS PROBABLY MOST – WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
ACCORDING TO A NEW REVIEW COMMISSION BY THE W-H-O – THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN CELLPHONE USE AND BRAIN CANCER.
AND THAT GOES FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE LONG PHONE CALLS, SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THEIR PHONES, OR HAVE USED A MOBILE DEVICE FOR OVER A DECADE.
THE REVIEW PUBLISHED TUESDAY WAS CONDUCTED BY ELEVEN INVESTIGATORS FROM 10 COUNTRIES WHO ANALYZED 63 STUDIES FROM 1994 TO 2022.
THE PANEL OF EXPERTS ASSESSED THE EFFECTS OF RADIO FREQUENCIES – USED IN CELLPHONES, TVS, BABY MONITORS AND RADAR.
THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS NO INCREASED RISK OF BRAIN CANCER IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN DUE TO RADIO WAVES.
THE W-H-O’S INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER CURRENTLY CLASSIFIES RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE AS “POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC” – MEANING IT COULD NOT RULE OUT A POSSIBLE LINK BASED ON EVIDENCE AT THE TIME.
BUT NOW – IN LIGHT OF THIS NEW DATA — THERE ARE CALLS FOR THAT CLASSIFICATION TO BE RE-EVALUATED.
