No link between brain cancer and cellphone use, WHO says

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.
