The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services is diving into a big study about cellphone radiation. This comes after some serious claims from the HHS Secretary that these devices might be linked to cancer and brain issues.
Why now? Well, in 2025, a bunch of states started putting limits on cellphone use in schools. They were part of a movement called “Make America Healthy Again. ” The idea was to keep kids safe from potential health risks.
Here’s the twist: the FDA took down some old webpages that said cellphones are safe. They’re letting the new study do its thing first. The HHS spokesman, Andrew Nixon, said the FDA wanted to update their info based on the latest research. The study was actually ordered by President Trump’s MAHA Commission.
But wait, there’s more! Some government websites, like the CDC’s, still say there’s no solid proof that cellphone radiation is harmful. So, what’s the real deal? It’s a bit of a mixed bag right now.
This study could be a game-changer. It might fill in some gaps in what we know about cellphones and health. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
