Cell phones have become ubiquitous over the last few years, along with the debate over whether or not they can cause cancer.
While many agencies — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Food and Drug Administration and National Institute of Environmental Health — say they’ve found no link between cancer and the electromagnetic fields emanated by cell phones, a newly-released document is reheating the argument.
It comes from the California Department of Public Health and is called “Cell Phones and Health.” It lists potential risks from cell phones to both adults and children.
The 2014 document was held back for years, but has now been released because of a court order.
Joel Moskowitz, Ph.D., the director of the Center for Family and Community Health at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, sued the state last year under the California Public Records Act. He did so in order to get the document released to the public.
Moskowitz calls the report something of a smoking gun.
“You ought to be concerned,” he said. “Children, pregnant women, and teenagers are potentially at greater risk from this form of radiation.” Still, CDPH officials insist it is a “draft,” not a final statement.
The report says that some ways to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, include increasing the distance between yourself and your phone, whether by using headphones or sending text messages, and by limiting your cell phone use altogether.
It’s tough for anyone to say for sure whether or not cell phones cause cancer, but the debate just got a little louder.
As I’ve pointed out to you MULTIPLE TIMES the sun constantly bombards us with electromagnetics, the planet envelops us in an electromagnetic field. If they were fatal, life couldn’t possibly exist.
And now you’re conflating radiation and electromagnetics. You’re all about the bad comparison. Meanwhile, back in reality, this issue has been proven, and any that think cellphones cause cancer are quite simply stupid.
Radiation != electromagnetics. Either you’re an idiot or a liar. Either way you are beneath my contempt and we are done.
“If they were fatal, life couldn’t possibly exist.” Did you read the part about the harmful effects of exposure not being 100% fatal? Just increasing illness and suffering? No? Didn’t read that part?
Now you know that electromagnetics are a form of radiation and you probably read well enough to note that I didn’t conflate them; I specified “a carcinogen” to avoid you misunderstanding what I was saying but it is beginning to look like that is unavoidable...
Here’s a link to help you brush up on the science behind EMF radiation:

“The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the scientific name for types of photon radiation.”
Sounds reasonable! :-)
