Cellphones and Health: What's the Real Deal?

The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is embarking on a new study to investigate potential health risks associated with cellphone radiation. This initiative stems from significant concerns raised by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suggests that cellphones may lead to brain issues and cancer.

Reviewing Existing Research

HHS is examining past research to identify any gaps in our understanding of cellphone radiation. This study is part of a broader effort under the president’s Make America Healthy Again Commission.

Current Stance of Health Officials

• Some schools have already banned cellphones, citing potential health benefits for children.
• However, health agencies like the FDA, CDC, and National Cancer Institute maintain that current evidence does not clearly link cellphone radiation to harm or cancer.

Why the Concern?

Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, public concern persists. HHS is conducting this study to ensure public safety. For now, the scientific consensus remains that cellphones are safe to use.
