You can also contact the FDA toll-free at
(888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. The FCC has its own
website publication stating that “[t]here is no scientific
evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can
lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches,
dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available
at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the
FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National
Cancer Institute (“NCI”) states that concerns about the
potential health effects of using cellular phones—“and
specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may
increase a person’s risk of developing brain cancer—are
not supported by a growing body of research on the
subject.” You can access NCI’s review of the research at
http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/NCI_Cancer_
Bulletin_092308/page7. The WHO’s Interphone study
is the largest study of cell phone use and brain tumors
ever under taken. WHO summarized its conclusions
concerning Interphone as follows: “Overall, no increase
in risk of glioma or menin gioma was observed with use of
mobile phones. There were suggestions of an increased
risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases
and error prevent a causal interpretation. The possible
effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones
require further investigation.” The WHO’s comments on
Interphone are available at: http://www.iarc.fr/en/
