Many people think GMOs, Bluetooth and 5G causes cancer no matter how much evidence you provide that it doesn't. It is unlikely they will accept irradiation even if it means a less healthy food supply.
GMOs themselves my not be linked to cancer. Higher levels of glycophosphate could have some risk.
There could be some unknown risks of cellphone/wifi/etc. It's not a bad idea to limit exposure where it makes sense (like scheduling your wifi to turn off during sleeping hours). What we do know about wireless radiation around these bands is that cellular glucose metabolism increases. What that means exactly is unknown. However, glucose metabolism and its larger system has links to everything from cholesterol production to influence on metastatic cancer spread.
You also imply that irradiated food would be healthier. That claim needs extensive research to back it up, which I haven't seen posted here.
e.g. https://www.greenmatters.com/p/gmo-side-effects
The unknown risks are unknown and we should not make policy decisions without evidence. People turn unknown risks into fear mongering campaigns.
"The unknown risks are unknown and we should not make policy decisions without evidence."
I wasn't talking about policy. I had mentioned basic personal steps someone could take to reduce exposure and provide other benefits as well (energy savings, security, etc).
But when we are making policy decisions we should look at evidence from both sides of the argument. Right now we know that it increases glucose metabolism and we know that glucose metabolism is linked to various issues. We also have studies showing there are some known risks, and many agencies say their safety is undetermined or needs more studies (CDC and IARC). I'm not proposing we make any policy against wireless technologies, but I also don't think we should promote their use without some caution and continued research.
Also, what was your link about? I didn't see them stating anything about GMOs causing cancer. In fact, they said there's no evidence of it.
