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.

As the health and cosmetic industries have been 'scaring' us to death by threatening skin cancer from being out in the sun, an abundance of studies have recently concluded that just the opposite is true.
Vitamin D, the best and most natural source being exposure to the sun, has been show to help reduce risks of many cancers by as much as 75% according to the latest study from the UCSD School of Medicine.
And the numbers aren't promising. Over 51% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D and at higher risk for disease, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer.
The following videos show the numbers and explain more about optimal levels of Vitamin D. Not surprisingly most reported cancer cases are in the northeast part of the US where sun exposure is lowest on average.
Some of the Vitamin D supplement suggestions aren't recommended since sun exposure is the best all around source. Even the doctors mention that food supplements aren't the best and all have shortcomings.
In addition to sun exposure to increase your vitamin D levels, eating healthy meals and getting adequate exercise are all part of a healthy life to keep disease risks as low as possible.
If you are looking for scientifically proven natural therapy for cancer, and most any disease, review this video. It reveals a natural method that allows the body to heal itself of most every disease.
To your best health!
The largest and highest quality study about the relation between eating red and processed meat and longevity reports that there is about a 30% greater risk of dying prematurely.
The study included over half a million participants, more than any in the past, and recorded their levels of meat intake. The results were pretty clear and consistent with other studies and what I've been saying for many years... red and processed meat kills. The diseases most identified with read and processed meat consumption were cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Out of the more than 500,000 followed over a 10 year period, 71,252 died prematurely as a result of excess red and processed meat consumption that resulted in cancer or cardiovascular disease.
By comparison, those eating a plant based diet had the least incidents of disease, consistent with previous studies that reported a vegetable based diet was the most heart healthy.
Similarly, another study, the Oxford Vegetarian Study, followed 15,000 subjects and found that meat eaters are twice as likely to die from heart disease, have a 60 percent greater risk of dying from cancer and a 30 percent higher risk of death from other causes.
While the statistics are important, there were other revealing parts of the study most have not reported.
The report also indicated that red meat eaters tended to be married, more likely white, more likely smokers, have higher body mass index, have a higher daily intake of total and saturated fat, had lower activity levels, lower intake of plant foods (fruits and vegetables) as well as vitamins.
Another interesting aspect of the report was that there was an increased risk associated with death from injuries and sudden death with higher consumption of red meat which I found interesting.
Red meat is red animal meat, and processed meats include sausages, hams, bacon, deli meats, hot dogs, cold cuts, hamburger and many other meats that could also be classified as red meats.
Bottom line is as I've always suggested, if you'd like to live longer, have more energy, reduce the risk of most any disease, avoid red and processed meats. Now the statistics confirm the recommendations.
Unfortunately, the study recommends eating a variety of other animal foods which will still kill you, just a little slower. The best diet is a mostly plant based diet that will give you the most energy, prolong your life, reduce risk of most every disease and allow you to attain your optimal weight and health.
