Hello there! It is completely natural to have questions about how new technology affects our bodies, but you can rest easy knowing that 5G does not cause cancer 8, 15. Scientific experts explain that 5G uses non-ionizing radiation, which simply does not have enough energy to damage your DNA or cells 3. Leading global health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Cancer Institute, have reviewed decades of research and concluded that no adverse health effects have been causally linked to wireless technologies 2, 9. While it is true that the US Health Department is taking a fresh look at cellphone radiation as of January 2026 to ensure our safety standards are up to date 11, the vast majority of human studies show no increase in brain tumors or other cancers since mobile phones were introduced 1, 5, 13. Even though some lab studies on animals have raised questions, there is no scientific evidence to date that proves wireless phone usage leads to cancer in humans 11, 14. So, based on the best information we have, 5G is considered safe within international exposure limits 4, 10.
