Tucker: Cell Phone Radiation Linked to Tumors

‘The national toxicology program found high exposure to radio frequency radiation used by cell phones’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: “But how healthy is this? Not spiritually healthy, you know the answer to that, of course, but physically healthy, is it good for you to be with your smartphone all the time? As it turns out, it's probably not. Several published studies have linked mobile phone radiation to cancer. The National Toxicology Program, a government organization, found that 'high exposure to radio frequency radiation used by cell phones was associated with clear evidence' — we’re quoting now — 'of tumors in rats.' In 2012, Italy’s Supreme Court upheld a ruling that said there was a link between a business executive’s brain tumor and his heavy use of a mobile phone. Our trusty FCC, though, says there is nothing to worry about. According to our federal agencies, smartphones are entirely safe. Here’s the problem with that claim. When the FCC screens for phone radiation, they allow companies to test their phones from up to 25 millimeters away from a person. That’s really far. The manual for Samsung’s Galaxy 10 Note Plus, for example, tells users that the phone 'should be positioned at least .6 inches away from your body.' Okay. When was the last time you actually held a phone at that distance?”
