Mobile phones are not linked to brain and head cancers, a comprehensive reviewof the highest quality evidence available commissioned by the World Health Organization has found.
Led by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (Arpansa), the systematic review examined more than 5,000 studies from which the most scientifically rigorous were identified and weak studies excluded.
The final analysis included 63 observational studies in humans published between 1994 and 2022, making it “the most comprehensive review to date”, the review lead author, associate prof Ken Karipidis, said.
“We concluded the evidence does not show a link between mobile phones and brain cancer or other head and neck cancers.”
Published on Wednesday, the review focused on cancers of the central nervous system (including brain, meninges, pituitary gland and ear), salivary gland tumours and brain tumours.
The review found no overall association between mobile phone use and cancer, no association with prolonged use (if people use their mobile phones for 10 years or more), and no association with the amount of mobile phone use (the number of calls made or the time spent on the phone).
“I’m quite confident with our conclusion. And what makes us quite confident is … even though mobile phone use has skyrocketed, brain tumour rates have remained stable,” Karipidis, Arpansa’s health impact assessment assistant director, said.
Mobile phones – like anything that uses wireless technology including laptops, radio and TV transmissions, and mobile phone towers – emit radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation, also known as radio waves.
Karipidis, who is also the vice-chair of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, said people hear the word radiation and assume it is similar to nuclear radiation.
“And because we use a mobile phone close to the head when we’re making calls, there is a lot of concern,” Karipidis said.

It’s not the phones. It’s the 5G towers.
“It’s not the phones. It’s the 5G towers.”
I heard it was the Comi-rna-ty ?
These travel to the brain and repeat the message:
Vote Democrat... Vote Democrat... Vote Democrat...
...this way it gets past the aluminum hats that protect the wearers from the government mind control beams.
“the aluminum hats that protect the wearers from the government mind control beams.”
Aluminum does not protect you. This is why you can not buy real Tin Foil anymore.
I searched high and low for years before I was able to find some and craft a proper hat.
“It’s not the phones. It’s the 5G towers.”
Nah, it’s Chemtrails and I don’t want to say it’s aliens, but...
It’s not even a new study.
It’s just taking the same old studies, reshuffling them and calling it a new “meta-analysis.”
A lot of the research is garbage. Researchers do low quality research just to check the box on their resumes on their way to earning their PhD.
In the few cases when other researchers try to replicate a particular study often they can’t. It’s the replication crisis in science.
One high quality carefully controlled study interpreted by knowledgeable scientists is worth a dozen garbage studies.
I did not read it, but my first thought is, do we know which cell phone company funded this study?
Yesterday an FR post presented a study that said junk food was better for you than eggs.
I remember watching a Rush Limbaugh show where he taped his cell phone to his head while he dialed in to a sex talk line. Funny stuff.
It’s too bad. This may well be a good study. But having WHO’s name attached to it makes me disregard it to the point it’s not even worth the time to read the abstract.
The health establishment has completely discredited itself except as a mouthpiece for the ruling class’s desired indoctrination of the deplorables.
Around here, EVERY school has a couple of cell towers on their school grounds. The phone companies pay royalties for the privilege, and the kids be damned.
Of couse they lie. Putting phone to your makes it an antenna or wave absorber.
“It’s the 5G towers.”
5G ate all my leftovers.
“And because we use a mobile phone close to the head when we’re making calls, there is a lot of concern,”
That’s not what I use my phone for.
If it’s in your lap while you’re texting, then you have other body parts to worry about! ;-)
“Mobile phones are not linked to brain and head cancers, a comprehensive reviewof the highest quality evidence available commissioned by the World Health Organization has found.”
“A WHO-led joint mission traveled to China in January and issued their initial impressions in February, suggesting that a jump from an intermediate host was the most likely scenario”

Unfortunately, it’ll take at least 50 years of study, not 30.
Consider cigarettes - 1 out of 6 chance of getting lung cancer. Most start in their teens and cancer generally in their mid 60s or later.
So if you knew nothing about smokes, you wouldn’t see the cancer cases appear significantly for 50 years.
With cell phones being ubiquitous in the mid 90s, that gives us till mid 2040s before a large number of heads begin to explode.
