Concerns about the dangers of mobile/cell phone radiation come and go, with studies reporting possible harms usually being ignored by the mainstream press. These phones have been made a compulsory part of life now, even if you have a landline phone at home. Centrelink, for example expects you, via MyGov, to validate your password log in by receiving a text message. This requires you having access to such phones, and being able to use the small letters on the touch screen. Too bad if you have arthritis like my mother had, with crippled fingers, and can’t. Or, you are blind. Or, have extra fat fingers, like I have.
As Dr Mercola, in a now deleted article notes, the cancer risk from mobile phones is still a live issue. In February 2023, the findings of two US National Toxicology Program (NTP) animal studies indicated that male rats exposed to mobile phone radiation were more likely, that unexposed rats, to develop heart tumours. As well, DNA damage and damage to heart tissue was also observed. This is not definitive proof that these cancers will occur in humans, but it is highly suggestive, with further research possibly confirming it. Indeed, research by the Ramazzini Institute in March 2023, confirmed that there was a connection between mobile phone radiation and the same tumours found by the NTP.
