The study, published in the Archives of Clinical and Biomedical Research, examined national health data from Sweden and Norway and found that the number of medical consultations for memory problems increased dramatically in recent decades.
In Norway, among those aged 5-19, consultations increased 8.5 fold.
In Sweden, the number aged 5-19 diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, which includes memory loss, increased sixty times from 2010 to 2024.
The researchers argue that the principal cause is exposure to wireless radiation.
Numerous studies have already demonstrated a negative link between even very low levels of wireless radiation and brain function.
“There is abundant evidence [dating back] several decades, both on animals and humans, that RF radiation impairs memory,” one of the study authors, an expert on wireless radiation, said.
“The trends we are observing coincide closely in time with the sharply increasing exposure of children and adolescents to RF radiation.”
As Children’s Health Defense notes, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not updated its wireless-radiation exposure guides since 1996.
The FCC has also failed to comply with a court-ordered mandate to explain how it determined current guidelines are safe to protect humans and the environment.
