Cell Phones and Brain Tumors
Worries about phones causing brain cancer started with a small 2001 study suggesting a weak link. The WHO’s inconclusive 2010 Interphone study created more confusion as cell usage skyrocketed from 34% to 97% of Americans. Comprehensive 2019 research found no consistent cancer connection. Radio frequency radiation from phones cannot damage DNA like ionizing radiation does. Brain cancer rates remain stable at 6 per 100,000 people despite near-universal phone adoption.
