DIRTY ENERGY from cellphone radiation still “off the radar” of the chronic sick care industrial complex of America

The Sick Care Industrial Complex of America does not address prevention of disease very often, unless of course the majority of the populace is demanding it, and even then, it’s a very slow process to get anything accomplished. That goes for dirty energy that’s causing a massive uptick in health atrocities, including for children, like cellphone and smart device radiation. Let’s take a look. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), representing 67,000 pediatricians across the U.S., has not updated its parental guidance on cellphone radiation since June 2016, despite the rapid rise of wireless technologies and mounting scientific evidence about potential health risks for children. This gap has raised concerns among health advocates, particularly since AAP’s parenting advice website, HealthyChildren.org, lists major corporations — including telecommunications giant AT&T — as financial sponsors.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has not updated its cellphone radiation guidance for parents since 2016, despite significant research since then showing clear evidence of health risks, including cancer in animal studies.
  • AT&T is listed as a corporate sponsor on the AAP’s parenting website, alongside pharmaceutical companies, raising concerns that industry funding may influence the organization’s public health messaging and priorities.
  • Critics argue that while the AAP promotes industry-sponsored events, such as webinars for RSV vaccines, it has failed to highlight updated cellphone radiation safety information, leaving key advice buried on an outdated webpage.
  • Although the AAP supports a review of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) outdated 1996 cellphone radiation standards, it has not taken visible action to push the FCC to comply with a 2021 court order requiring updated health and safety guidelines, particularly regarding children’s risks.

AAP Hasn’t Updated Advice on Cellphone Radiation in Nearly a Decade — AT&T Listed Among Funders

AAP’s mission emphasizes promoting the health and well-being of children and adolescents. However, critics argue that corporate ties may be influencing its public health messaging. For example, the AAP hosts a “free” parent webinar about protecting infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), sponsored by Sanofi, which manufactures an RSV vaccine. In contrast, there are no comparable efforts to actively share cellphone radiation safety information with parents, even though such guidance already exists — albeit on a webpage last revised nearly a decade ago. The outdated AAP webpage cites the 2016 preliminary findings of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) animal study, which linked cellphone radiation to cancer in rats. At the time, the AAP advised parents not to panic, noting that the full data was not yet available and that research had been conducted on animals rather than humans. However, when the NTP released its final report in 2018, confirming “clear evidence” of increased cancer risk, the AAP did not revise or expand its guidance. Since then, additional studies have underscored the potential risks. The Ramazzini Institute in Italy published findings in 2018 showing similar cancer outcomes in rats exposed to cellphone radiation. More recently, a systematic review commissioned by the World Health Organization concluded that cellphone radiation exposure is linked with high certainty to two types of cancer in animals. Despite this growing body of research, the AAP’s page still only references its 2016 summary and continues to frame the issue as unresolved. The webpage does provide some practical safety tips for parents, such as limiting children’s cellphone use, encouraging speakerphone or headset use, and downloading media in airplane mode. However, these suggestions are buried on a little-promoted webpage rather than highlighted in public-facing educational campaigns. Critics, such as Miriam Eckenfels of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), argue that the imbalance between industry-sponsored health promotions and neglected wireless safety updates reflects the influence of financial sponsors on AAP’s priorities. The AAP acknowledges systemic regulatory issues, noting that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not updated its cellphone radiation standards since 1996, and that current guidelines assume adult users rather than children, whose thinner skulls make them more vulnerable. While the AAP states it supports reviewing these outdated standards, it has not indicated whether it will pressure the FCC to comply with a 2021 court order requiring a reassessment of wireless safety regulations. The FCC has so far resisted updating its guidelines, despite legal challenges and petitions documenting thousands of pages of evidence linking wireless exposure to health risks. Meanwhile, the AAP has remained silent about whether it will advocate for stricter protections, leaving parents with outdated guidance at a time when children are more immersed than ever in wireless technology.
