Ameliorative Role of Coenzyme Q10 in RF Radiation-Associated Testicular and Oxidative Impairments in a 3.5-GHz Exposure Model
PubMed: RF-EMF health
Jan 24, 2026 CONCERN
MEDIUM
A rat study in Bioelectromagnetics examined GSM-modulated 3.5 GHz RF-EMF exposure (2 h/day for 30 days) and reported adverse changes in male reproductive hormones, oxidative stress markers, and testicular histology. The authors also tested Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and found it partially ameliorated…

RFK Jr. Was Right to Pull FDA’s Blanket “Cell Phone Radiation Is Safe” Assurances
RF Safe
Jan 19, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
This RF Safe commentary argues that HHS, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was correct to remove FDA webpages that gave broad assurances that cell phone radiation is “not dangerous.” It claims blanket safety messaging is scientifically indefensible given animal toxicology findings (notably…
Cell Phone Radiation: What HHS/FDA actually did—and why that matters
RF Safe
Jan 19, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
This RF Safe commentary argues that Reuters-reported actions by HHS and FDA—launching an HHS study and removing older FDA webpages stating cellphones are “not dangerous”—should be understood as a risk-communication/scientific-integrity adjustment rather than a declaration of confirmed harm. It…
Effect of fat thickness on subcutaneous temperature field under monopolar radiofrequency
PubMed: RF-EMF health
Jan 19, 2026 NEUTRAL
MEDIUM
This PubMed-listed study models and experimentally validates how subcutaneous fat thickness affects temperature distribution during monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment used for skin tightening and tissue repair. Using finite element analysis (COMSOL) and in vitro pork tissue experiments, the…
The Mechanistic Pivot: Why HHS and FDA Must Fund Predictive Biology Now (S4–Mito–Spin)
RF Safe
Jan 18, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
This RF Safe commentary argues that if HHS and FDA pursue a “reset” on cellphone radiation policy, they should fund mechanistic, predictive biology rather than relying on literature summaries or general safety reassurances. It cites the NTP rat bioassays and a WHO-commissioned animal cancer…
RFK Jr., HHS, and the FDA’s Cell Phone Radiation Reset
RF Safe
Jan 17, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
This RF Safe article reports that in mid-January 2026 HHS, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., removed or redirected certain FDA webpages that previously conveyed strong “no-risk” conclusions about cellphone radiation. It argues the updated FDA framing emphasizes statutory duties (monitoring,…
FDA Removes “Safety Conclusion” Cellphone Radiation Pages as HHS Announces a New Study—Why the “NTP Was Too High Dose” Talking Point Fails
RF Safe
Jan 17, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
This RF Safe commentary argues that dismissing the National Toxicology Program (NTP) cellphone-radiation animal findings as “too high dose” is misleading because the NTP used multiple exposure tiers, including a lowest tier described as near regulatory relevance. It also claims FDA has removed…
The Federal Script Just Changed on Cellphone Radiation: FDA Deletes “Old Conclusions” as HHS Launches a New Study
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
RF Safe reports that HHS confirmed plans to launch a new study on cellphone radiation and that an HHS spokesperson said the FDA removed webpages with “old conclusions” while new research is undertaken to identify knowledge gaps, including for emerging technologies. The article frames the FDA…
A Monumental Shift: FDA’s Cellphone Radiation Page Overhaul – From Unsubstantiated Safety Claims to Embracing the 1968 Mandate
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
RF Safe reports that the U.S. FDA substantially revised its cellphone radiation webpages around January 15, 2026, removing or reducing prior language that broadly reassured the public about safety. The article argues the new framing more closely reflects the FDA’s statutory responsibilities under…
When the FTC Put “Radiation Shield” Scams on Notice—and Why RF Safe Says the Warning Started Earlier
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
RF Safe recounts a timeline of FTC actions and consumer guidance targeting phone “radiation shield” stickers/patches that claimed large reductions in exposure, arguing these products can create a false sense of security. The post cites the FTC’s February 2002 enforcement actions and consumer…
RF Safe’s QuantaCase (also known as TruthCase)
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
RF Safe promotes its QuantaCase (also called TruthCase) as a leading “anti-radiation” phone case for 2026, emphasizing a directional shielding design intended to deflect RF energy away from the body. The article argues the product aligns with consumer-safety guidance such as keeping phones away…
The Anti‑Radiation Phone Case Market Runs on Percentages. RF Safe Refuses to Sell One.
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN

RF Safe critiques the anti-radiation phone case market for relying on headline percentage-blocking claims that may reflect tests of shielding material rather than real-world phone behavior in a case on a live network. The article argues that poorly designed or misused shielding cases can interfere…
Why RF Safe’s TruthCase Refuses the “99% Blocking” Game — and Why That’s the Point
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
LOW
RF Safe argues that “anti-radiation” phone case marketing based on universal “99% blocking” claims is misleading because real-world phone emissions vary with signal conditions, orientation, and how a case affects the antenna. The post positions RF Safe’s TruthCase/QuantaCase as more credible…
The Anti Radiation Case That Refuses to Sell a Number
RF Safe
Jan 16, 2026 CONCERN
