9 Types of Cancer are Linked to Cell Phone/Wifi Use It was back in 2011 that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a committee of 27 scientists from 14 different countries working on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO), concluded that exposure to cell phone radiation is a possible carcinogen and classified it into the 2B category -- the same category as the pesticide DDT, lead, gasoline engine exhaust, burning coal and dry cleaning chemicals, just to name a few. The children’s health expert panel explained that, as of 2013, there are nine types of cancer linked to cell phone use, including: Glioma (brain cancer) Acoustic Neuroma (tumor on acoustic nerve) Meningioma (tumor of the meninges) Salivary Gland Cancer (parotid gland in cheek) Eye Cancer Testicular Cancer Leukemia Thyroid Cancer Breast Cancer The science connecting cell phone and Wi-Fi radiation is among the strongest there is, and children, again, are slated to bear the brunt of what could become a new epidemic of cell-phone and Wi-Fi-induced cancers. The panel reported: “The latency period between cell phone use and brain cancer is thought to be 20 to 30 years. Brain cancer rates are double for people who’ve been using cell phones for 10 years or more, appearing on the side of the head where they hold their phones, and risks are 5x greater for children using cell phones under the age of 20 than those over the age of 50.” Fertility and Sperm Count May Be at Risk Infertility rates have been on the rise in the US, and today’s children may be even worse off than their parents if current trends continue. Several of the panel members focused on this issue, including studies that have found cell phone radiation can affect mens sperm count and the quality and motility of their sperm. One such study, published in PLoS One,4 found: RF-EMR [radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation] in both the power density and frequency range of mobile phones enhances mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation by human spermatozoa, decreasing the motility and vitality of these cells while stimulating DNA base adduct formation and, ultimately DNA fragmentation. These findings have clear implications for the safety of extensive mobile phone use by males of reproductive age, potentially affecting both their fertility and the health and wellbeing of their offspring.
