Cellphone Use Linked To Brain Cancer
Posted on October 23rd, 2009 in brain tumor, cancer, cell phones, studies | No Comments »
A 10 year study looking into whether or not cellphone use is linked to three types of brain tumors has found that long term users have a higher risk of developing cancer later in life.
The World Health Organization (WHO) oversaw this study involving 12,800 people in 13 countries.
The study will be published later this year.
More will be known when it's available, but it appears this study adds to a long list of others that show cellphone use linked to cancers of the brain.
My recommendation has always been to avoid cellphone use unless absolutely necessary, and if you do, to use the phone in speakerphone mode as far away from your body as possible or to use a radiation free headset like the BioPro RF3. These special headsets don't allow radiation to flow up the headset line as most traditional headsets do. And if you do need to use a cellphone, use a prepaid cell phone plan to keep your costs low rather than use expensive monthly plans and maintain long term contracts.
It's also good to keep your cellphone turned off until you need to use it, keeping the ongoing radiation emitted even when not in use to a minimum.
Children are especially vulnerable to cell phone radiation as their skulls are less developed and allow radiation to penetrate much further than in adults.
