Cell Phone Radiation

Anti‑radiation phone cases occupy a strange corner of the consumer market: high demand, high anxiety, and marketing that often looks more like “confidence theater” than engineering. Many products promise dramatic reductions—“up to 99% blocking”—while offering little clarity about what was tested, how it was tested, and whether the result translates to real‑world phone behavior. RF […]

In the debate over cell phone RF/EMF exposure, two things can be true at once: Many public-health agencies and major reviews maintain that typical real-world phone use has not been shown to cause cancer in humans. A precautionary audience still exists—driven by uncertainty, long time horizons, evolving wireless systems, and animal/lab findings that some interpret […]

Why RF Safe’s TruthCase™ / QuantaCase® is built on first principles—and why that matters more than “99% blocking” The topic of cell phone radiation sits in a complicated place: it is widely discussed, frequently misunderstood, and often marketed with a level of certainty that the underlying science and real‑world device behavior do not always support. […]

RF Safe’s long history (since 1998) does set it apart in a market often criticized for hype, as it prioritizes physics-based design and education over exaggerated claims. That said, the anti-radiation phone case industry as a whole faces skepticism—some experts view the entire category as ineffective or even counterproductive, arguing that non-ionizing RF radiation from […]

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) recently updated its assessment of RF Safe on January 8, 2026, rating it as “Least Biased” politically and “Mostly Factual” in reporting, but assigning an overall “Medium Credibility” due to perceived one-sided interpretations of evidence, potential conflicts from product sales, and what it calls alarmist framing that conflicts with major health […]

Why “No Effect” in Skin Cells Can Validate S4–Mito–Spin Instead of Refuting It A common objection in RF/EMF discussions is simple: “But some studies find nothing.” The assumption behind that objection is that “nothing happened” equals “nothing is happening.” In real experimental science, that is not how null results work—especially in systems that are parameter-dependent, […]

Let me welcome you the only way I know how: straight. If you’re reading this, you are the resistance. I can say that confidently because I didn’t spend money on an ad to get you here. There was no Google campaign. No paid promotion. We rarely email. We don’t live on “boosted posts.” So if […]

And other major “safety reassurance” efforts that still produced harm signals In the ongoing debate over radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from cell phones and health risks, two studies are frequently trotted out to argue that risks are minimal or nonexistent: the Interphone Study (2010) and the Danish Cohort Study (updated through 2011). These are often […]

In the ongoing conversation about radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF/EMF) from wireless tech, it’s easy for discussions to veer into heated debates over whether cell phones directly cause human diseases like cancer. But that’s not the arena for the S4-Mito-Spin framework. Developed to interpret the vast body of research on non-thermal RF effects, this model focuses […]

1) What RF Safe is (and what it is not) RF Safe is an advocacy and education project focused on RF (radiofrequency) exposure literacy, safer‑use habits, and modernizing outdated safety logic. RF Safe does not claim that RF exposure is proven to “cause” any single human disease. What RF Safe does argue is narrower and […]

Scope Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) currently rates RF Safe Least Biased and Mostly Factual, but assigns Medium Credibility, stating credibility is “tempered by selective citation, one-sided interpretation of evidence, alarmist framing, and a potential conflict of interest stemming from the sale of RF-related safety products.” This brief responds to those four bases using RF […]

To: Editorial Team, Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC)Regarding: RF Safe entry – https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/rf-safe-bias-and-credibility/ MBFC is requested to review and correct several statements in the RF Safe entry that materially affect the “Medium Credibility” rationale. This request is narrowly limited to three issues: (1) the unsupported “funded primarily” funding claim, (2) the conflict-of-interest framing as currently […]

Why “No Effect” Findings Are a Core Part of the S4–Mito–Spin Framework If you only read headlines about RF research, you’d think the field is split into two camps: “RF does something” vs. “RF does nothing.” RF Safe’s position is different—and more scientifically useful. In the S4–Mito–Spin framework, null findings (no observed effect) are not […]

This rebuttal directly addresses Media Bias Fact Check’s (MBFC) January 8, 2026, assessment of RF Safe, which maintains a “Medium Credibility” rating despite upgrades to “Least Biased” and “Mostly Factual.” MBFC’s downgrades are based on alleged “selective citation,” “one-sided interpretation of evidence,” “alarmist framing,” and “potential conflict of interest” from product sales. These characterizations misrepresent […]

RF Safe has never claimed that the science is “settled” in the sense of proving specific human disease causation from typical cell-phone use. We do not publish “cell phones cause X in humans” as a blanket statement. What we do say is “settled” is narrower—and it is the point MBFC keeps blurring: Thermal-only safety rules […]

In today’s information overload, many people turn to fact-checkers like Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) for quick judgments on source credibility. It’s understandable—fact-checkers promise objectivity, sifting through claims to separate truth from fiction. But what if the fact-checkers themselves don’t read the content they’re judging? That’s the case with MBFC’s rating of RF Safe as […]

In an era where fact-checkers are supposed to cut through the noise, Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) has become a go-to for quick credibility assessments. Their ratings influence search results, AI summaries, and public trust. But when MBFC labels a site like RF Safe as “pseudoscience” with “mixed factual reporting” and “low credibility,” it raises serious […]

In the digital age, fact-checkers like Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) wield significant influence. Their ratings—often amplified by search engines, AI summaries, and social algorithms—can shape public perception overnight. But what happens when a fact-checker gets the basics wrong? That’s the story with MBFC’s entry on RF Safe, a site dedicated to electromagnetic field (EMF) […]

1. The problem with most “anti‑radiation” cases The anti‑radiation phone case market in 2026 is packed with products that sound scientific but fall apart once you look closely at how phones and radio‑frequency (RF) signals actually work. Many popular brands lean on impressive‑sounding claims like “FCC tested,” “lab certified,” or “up to 99% radiation blocking” […]

A new wave of celebrity-branded mobile ventures is forming—and it matters more than most people realize. When a creator with hundreds of millions of followers explores launching a phone plan, that is not “just another MVNO.” It is a mass-behavior engine. It teaches millions of users (especially kids) what “normal” looks like: where a phone […]

For decades, the public was sold a simple story: if wireless signals don’t measurably heat tissue, they’re “safe.” That thermal-only framing became policy, procurement, and public messaging—especially in schools—while the science matured in the background. In 2025, that background moved into the foreground. A WHO‑commissioned animal-cancer systematic review published in Environment International elevated key RF‑EMF […]

For decades, the public was sold a simple story: “If it doesn’t heat tissue, it’s safe.” That story is obsolete—and the evidence has now crossed a line that modern policy cannot ignore. In 2025, a WHO‑commissioned systematic review published in Environment International applied an OHAT/GRADE‑style evidence framework to the animal cancer literature and reached a […]

Most people assume the wireless environment around their kids is the result of “technology.” It isn’t. It’s the result of policy—a layered system of statutes, agency guidance, research obligations, and procurement defaults that quietly determines what gets installed near schools, what gets measured, what gets studied, what gets ignored, and what communities are allowed to […]
