Bluetooth Earphones & Cancer: Debunking Viral Claims, Experts Say No Direct Link

• Viral social media claims suggest Bluetooth earphones cause cancer due to radiation, comparing them to microwave ovens.
• Dr. Jay Jagannathan, a neurosurgeon, clarified that wireless earphones emit 'non-ionizing' radiation, which cannot damage DNA.
• He emphasized there is no direct scientific evidence linking non-ionizing radiation from earphones to cancer.
• Bluetooth earphones emit significantly less radiation (10 to 400 times less) than mobile phones.
• Studies like the NTP on rats showed a slight increase in heart cancer in male rats under extreme conditions, but the FDA stated it doesn't prove a direct link to human cancer under real-world usage.

Why It Matters: Experts confirm Bluetooth earphones' non-ionizing radiation does not directly cause cancer, debunking viral claims.
