Largest Animal Study on Cell Tower Radiation Confirms Cancer Link
This is a better study than previous ones, in that it used &quot;environmental&quot; levels of radiation, rather than blasting subjects with an amount of radiation equivalent to laying your head on top of a cell tower for 22 hours a day.<p>However: out of 817 individuals in the control group, 2 had benign tumors, 2 had malignant tumors, 1 had glial cell hyperplasia, and 2 had malignant glial tumors. Out of 409 individuals in the highest-dosed group, 4 had benign tumors, 0 had malignant tumors, 0 had glial cell hyperplasia, and 3 had malignant glial tumors.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;VeEUb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;VeEUb</a><p>Rates are elevated, but given the differences in population sizes and the relatively very small differences in rates involved, this study looks like a very good candidate for the decline effect that&#x27;s been plaguing similar studies for a while now. (e.g. a regression to the mean; that the effect numbers, being small, would disappear in subsequent studies.)<p>Any potential link between cell phones, or wifi, and cancer, still has the fundamental problem that we should have seen cancer rates rise dramatically over the last 15 years in populations all over the world, and ... we haven&#x27;t. While there have been more and more findings on other causes for cancer (and preventable mortality, like heart disease), glial cancers aren&#x27;t increasing in any manner suggestive of a link to ubiquitous environmental microwave radiation.
