Washington, DC July 7, 2011 -- A new study that attempts to debunk the link betwee n cancer and cell phones is riddled with conflicts of interest, says Environment al Health Trust (EHT). In May 2011, in a nearly unanimous decision, 31 expert ad visers to the World Health Organization (WHO) stunned the world s five billion cell phone users and declared radiofrequency and electromagnetic radiation a "possibl e" cause of brain cancer. Microwave radiation from cell phones joins a list of w ell-reviewed cancer-causing agents that includes engine exhaust, some pesticides , lead, coffee and unusually preserved vegetables. However, a purportedly independent report rushed into print in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal advises that cell phones do not increase the risk o f cancer. The study, conducted for the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP) Standing Committee on Epidemiology, looked at the same studies and reached an entirely different opinion from the WHO. However, th e INCNIRP scientists acknowledged that they could not conclusively rule out such risks. The positions taken in this ICNRP vy industry funding for the work, he Mobile Manufacturers Forum, ealth and Research Programme, AFA cy for innovation, which received r. This is propaganda meant to he recent WHO declaration on cell review cannot easily be separated from the hea which included direct financial support from t The GSM Association, the Mobile Telecommunications H Insurance, VINNOA (the Swedish government agen funds from TeliaSonera, EricssonAB, and Teleno raise public confusion about the issue and take on t phones," says Dr. Devra Davis, founder of EHT.

In her recent Huffington Post article, titled "Beyond Brain Cancer: Other Possib le Dangers of Cell Phones," Dr. Davis, explains that potential ills of cell phon e use extend to damage of sperm, brain, liver, eyes and skin of exposed rabbit a nd rat offspring, as well as reduced sperm count and DNA damage in humans. "We c annot afford to ignore a growing body of experimental evidence that finds that c ell phone radiation causes brain damage, affects hearing, sperm and liver damage s brain, eye, sperm and liver," says Dr. Davis. "We need icrowave veloping ose full . . .to protect [children] and ourselves from the potential impact of m radiation from cell phones," Dr. Davis writes. "We need to protect...de brains and bodies from exposure to a sea of radiofrequency radiation wh impact cannot be gauged at this time."

In fact, according to Dr. Davis, brain cancer is not the only health issue of co ncern linked to cell phone radiation, nor is cell phones the only source of radi ofrequency and electromagnetic radiation. Important new research in rabbits and rats find that pulsed digital signals from today s smartphones damage sperm, brain, liver, eyes and skin of exposed offspring, and impair their memory and behavior. According to independent studies at the Cleveland Clinic and Australia s national r esearch center, men who use cell phones four hours a day have about half the nor mal sperm and three times more damage to their DNA than those with much less use . News studies showing that cellphone radiation increased cell death in liver and damaged brain, liver, eye and skin in rabbits were presented in Istanbul in May 2011 and co-hosted by Environmental Health Trust and Biophysics Department of Ga zi University, Ankara, Turkey (Guler et al., 2011).

Current multi-media projects include: local and natio nal campaigns to ban smoking and asbestos; working with international physician and worker safety groups to warn about the risks of inappropriate use of diagnos tic radiation and cell phones, promoting research and awareness of environmental causes of breast cancer, and building environmental wellness programs in Wyomin g and Pennsylvania to address the environmental impacts of energy development, t he built environment and radon. EHT was created with the goal of promoting healt h and preventing disease one person, one community and one nation at a time. Cap italizing on growing public interest in Dr. Devra Lee Davis s three popular books, W hen Smoke Ran Like Water, a National Book Award Finalist, The Secret History of the War on Cancer, and ! ! Disconnect--The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, Wha t Industry Has Done to Hide It and How to Protect Your Family, as well as recent documentary films, the foundation s website offers clear, science-based information to prevent environmentally based disease and promote health, for the general pu blic, children, and health professionals.
