$30 Million Government-Funded Cell Phone Radiation Study Shows Clear Evidence Of Cancer

A couple decades ago, the FDA commissioned what was to become the longest, largest-scale study ever done on the safety of cell phone radiation. The study was designed by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a United States government agency that’s a branch of the National Institute for Health, and connected to the FDA and CDC. It took over 15 years to complete the study and publish the results, which came out in 2018. These results seemed to be an unpleasant surprise to every government agency involved.

After a peer review panel of pathologists and toxicologists reviewed the study and all of its details, their verdict was that there is “clear evidence of carcinogenic activity” from cell phone radiation. The NTP uses 5 classifications to determine the level of carcinogenicity, and “clear evidence” is the strongest of the 5. The panelists unanimously praised the design and execution of the study—it was thorough and by-the-books.

The specific findings of the study, which was done on rodents and carefully adjusted so the results could easily be applied to humans (which is standard protocol with high-quality clinical studies done on rodents), found several forms of cancer in the male rodents, and DNA damage in both males and females. In the males, they mainly found two rare types of cancer: Schwannomas of the heart and gliomas of the brain. These same rare cancers have been found in epidemiological studies previously done on humans exposed to cell phone radiation. Gliomas are a particularly deadly form of cancer. All the tumors were in the male rats, but both the males and females showed indications of precancerous conditions and DNA damage. These multiple negative effects occurred in the exposure group, with no effects in the control group.

“Everyone expected this study to be negative,” said a senior government radiation official who asked to remain anonymous. This statement may explain why this massive, flawlessly designed, government-funded, government-executed study has since been swept under the rug and dismissed by all agencies involved, even after spending $30 million in taxpayer money to execute the study, for the sake of public health. Now the FCC and the FDA, and even the NTP itself, are significantly downplaying the results, stating that these results in rodents cannot necessarily be applied to humans. The whole study was designed and executed exactly so that the results could apply to humans.

According to a report on the FDA’s website, “After reviewing the study, we disagree, however, with the conclusions of their final report regarding ‘clear evidence’ of carcinogenic activity in rodents exposed to radiofrequency energy.”

The FDA is disagreeing with the verdict of a group of actual scientists and expert toxicologists, with no valid explanation for their opinion. Do you ever wonder if these agencies might be a little bit biased, or maybe even “bought out” by the industry itself?
