After a number of prominent, peer-reviewed studies indicating that cell phone radiation
can cause genetic damage, brain and blood cell dysfunction and a host of health problems
including cancer, now comes a Danish study that appears to say there is no danger at all.
And, that is exactly what cell phone users want to hear – if it is true.

The problem is that the new Danish cohort study does not support the reassurances that
have been ascribed to it. It is a ruse based upon a program initiated by the
telecommunications industry more than a decade ago to control the global scientific
research agenda concerning cell phones and health effects. The industry strategy has
been to fund low-risk studies that will assure a positive result – and then use it to
convince the news media and the public that it is proof that cell phones are safe. Even
though the actual science proved nothing of the sort.

It is against this backdrop that the Danish study provides an illustrative case history.
