Top Cell Phone Safety Tips

Cell phone safety - Dr. Axe

Do cell phones cause cancer? The preliminary results of a massive, government-funded study suggest they could. This makes cell phone safety an incredibly important topic. The early findings in the $25 million U.S. National Toxicology Program animal study show exposure to very high signal cell phone radiation led to a slightly increased risk of malignant gliomas in the brain and schwannomas of the heart in male rats. Schwannomas are tumors that form in the nerve sheath.

The World Health Organization classified cell phone radiation as a 2B carcinogen in 2011. That means it’s possibly carcinogenic to humans. The fear here is this: Since cell phones have only been in widespread use since the 1990s, participants in epidemiological studies focusing on long-term risks may not be showing symptoms of disease yet.

You know what’s equally as concerning? Even though we don’t fully understand the impacts of long-term wireless radiation, we’re forging ahead with 5G wireless technology. Within a few years, this technology could mean millions of mini cell towers could pop up on street corners, according to the Federal Communications Commission chairman. (3) Developing a 5G network is moving forward despite the fact that we don’t even remotely understand 5G health effects.

With more and more evidence suggesting cell phones could lead to cancer, I’m practicing the precautionary principle. Luckily, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on your cell phone. You just need to be smarter about it.
