The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is diving into a new study. They want to see if cellphone radiation could be bad for our health. This isn't just a random idea. It comes from big concerns raised by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He thinks cellphones might cause brain issues and cancer. HHS is looking at old research. They want to see if there are any gaps. This means they are checking if we know everything we should about cellphone radiation. The study is part of a bigger plan from the president’s Make America Healthy Again Commission.
Some schools already ban cellphones. They think it's better for kids' health. But health officials say the current evidence hasn't changed. The FDA and CDC say cellphone radiation doesn't clearly harm us. The National Cancer Institute agrees. They say cellphones don't cause cancer. So, what's the big deal? Well, people are worried. And that's why HHS is doing this study. They want to make sure we're safe. But for now, the science says cellphones are okay.
