A major new study has found conclusive evidence linking long-term cellphone use to malignant brain tumors, meningioma and glioma on the side of the head the phones were held.
According to South Korean scientists, who analyzed 24 studies and released their report in the journal Environmental Health, people who use cellphones are putting themselves at greater risk of developing brain cancer.
Naturalnews.com reports: The South Korean study brings the number of meta-analyses published since 2016 connecting cellphone radiation to a greater risk of brain cancer to seven, wrote Dr. Joel Moskowitz on his website.
Moskowitz, who leads the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkeley, has carried out and distributed research on wireless technology and public health since 2009.
“These seven peer-reviewed meta-analytic studies contradict the conclusion of the recent WHO systematic review,” Moskowitz said. He added that there was evidence the WHO selected industry-biased researchers to perform its review.
Dr. Lennart Hardell, a leading scientist who discovered a connection between cellphone use and gliomas, agreed with Moskowitz.
Hardell said in an interview with The Defender it was “striking” that the South Korean researchers reached a conclusion that directly contradicted the findings by the authors of the WHO study.
“The WHO study authors should be responsible for their fraudulent behavior violating human health and the environment. Their lack of ethical principles in science gives a ‘green card’ to roll out this technology – and the misinformed layman is the victim,” said Hardell, an oncologist and epidemiologist with the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation who has authored more than 350 papers, nearly 60 of which tackle wireless radiation.
WHO study claims no connection between cellphone use and brain cancer
The research review commissioned by the WHO and recently published in Environment International had researchers examining 63 studies completed between 1994 and 2022, as well as participants in 22 countries. Assessing these studies were 11 investigators from nine countries.
The researchers examined the effects of radio frequencies from mobile phones, base stations, transmitters and occupational exposure.
They zeroed in on cancers in the brains of adults and children including cancer of the pituitary gland and salivary glands. The threat of leukemia was also considered.
The researchers reported that in spite of the huge increase in the use of wireless technology in the past two decades, there has not been an equivalent increase in brain cancer. They added the risk assessment involves people who repeatedly have long phone calls and those who have used mobile devices for more than a decade.
The South Korean study was published in the wake of recent health data from Denmark revealing that central nervous system tumors along with brain tumors are increasing.
“Denmark is noted for its excellent tracking of cancer cases, and it is concerning when their data show a clear increase,” said Mona Nilsson, co-founder and director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation.
The Danish Cancer Registry on Sept. 30 released a report on the number of recent cancer cases in Denmark.
