It's not a study, just some UCLA professor Hypothesis on his personal blog. Blog article here.
I'm quoting some parts of the article.
So the author tries to draw a link between Thyroid Cancer increasing rates and mobile phone use... But it turns out most of them are overdiagnosed. So what's the point ? Anyway he cites some papers with interesting info.
Personally, I don't need anyone to tell me that mobile phones and in general EMF radiation is BAD. Very bad.
But in this case, the cell phones are irradiating JUST a few inches above our precious thyroid gland. Maybe contributing to the epidemic of anti thyroid pollutants that we are insulted with every day.
Maybe wrapping the cellphone in gbolduevnite-plastic can mitigate some of the effects, @Amazoniac ? Anyway, a reminder to keep the smartphone-of-the-death as far away as possible.
By the way... as I write this on my laptop that is literally on top of my lap, I'm wondering how damaging could it be not for sperm production but for hormonal production in the testes ? If rubbing steroids in one's balls can increase production of certain androgens, having an EMF source close to one's balls can maybe decrease production of them ?

Rather, I would like to focus on the question why has thyroid cancer become so prevalent in at least ten nations? According to the American Cancer Society, although some thyroid cancers are linked to exposure to ionizing radiation, "the exact cause of most thyroid cancers is not yet known."
Could exposure to the electromagnetic radiation (RF and ELF) emitted by cell phones and cordless phones be contributing to this worldwide thyroid cancer epidemic? Isn't time for our government to fund research on the risk factors underlying this epidemic?
In response to questions posed to me on this topic today from several individuals, I did a PubMed search. Although I did not find any epidemiologic studies that examined the association between mobile phone use and thyroid cancer in humans, I found almost a dozen published papers that have studied the effects of cell phone radiation on thyroid function. Apparently, case-control research on this topic is warranted.
The abstracts from 11 published papers that examined the effects of exposure to cell phone radiation on thyroid function appear below. Please let me know if you are aware of important studies that I missed, and I will supplement this list. I did not include studies that examined exposure to power frequency radiation.
International Agency for Research on Cancer. Overdiagnosis is a major driver of the thyroid cancer epidemic: Up to 50-90% of thyroid cancers in women in high-income countries estimated to be overdiagnoses. Press Release No. 246.
