What's more, we are losing our ability to produce healthy offspring. I believe that public health has been betrayed by corporate America and by our government. Because breast cancer is rare in men, any association between EMF exposure and breast cancer is highly significant. Countries that provide health care for all citizens, such as Sweden and Norway, pay attention to such studies and make policy changes based on prudent avoidance and the precautionary principle. When women operating CRT computer display terminals in Sweden showed a high rate of miscarriages, Sweden established stringent standards for EMF emissions from these terminals.
Epidemiology can never provide proof, only evidence.
More than 100 epidemiologic studies have shown evidence of a link between EMF occupational and residential exposure and various cancers. If we care about cancer prevention, we must act now. The National Cancer Institute, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy need to collaborate on a major public education campaign on the health risks of EMFs, where the exposures are and how ordinary people can measure and mitigate those exposures where they live and work. For example, women taking tamoxifen are entitled to know that a 12 mG EMF environment may block the action of this drug. Unless and until we tell the truth about EMFs, the public's ignorance of the issues will add to our country's cancer burden.
