The much-anticipated, explosive exposé of how cell phone use damages brain cells, especially in children, by one of the world’s foremost scientific experts in the field.

Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain’s defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss and the risks of Alzheimer’s disease and even cancer. And half the world’s four billion cell phones are used by people under twenty.

Now, Devra Davis, the founding director of the Board on Toxicology and Environmental Studies at the United States National Academy of Sciences, takes readers through the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry. She pulls back the curtain on the potential dangers, reveals the industry’s efforts to suppress research, and outlines what cell phone users can do now to protect themselves and their families.
