Study Says 30 Minutes Daily on Smartphone Increases Brain Cancer Risk

Busting the myths produced by the wireless industry about lack of evidence on harm caused by cellphone radiation, On Friday Sept 19th 2014 Finnish scientist Dariusz Leszczynski said that long-term exposure to cell phone radiation, on an average of thirty minutes a day over ten years, causes an increased risk of brain cancer. All major studies link cell phone radiation to increased risk of brain cancer! “The Interphone, Hardell and the recently concluded CERENAT studies in France have all pointed towards a common risk to increased brain cancer,” said Leszczynski, adjunct professor, biochemistry, University of Helsinki. Leszczynski is one of the members of the expert committee constituted by World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). WHO has classified electromagnetic frequency radiation emitted by cellphone, cell towers and wi-fi as category 2(B) or possibly carcinogenic. What are the associated health risks? Apart from brain cancer, three definitive studies showed that exposure of radiation to the skin and brain caused changes in cell structure. “Changes were induced in skin cells and metabolism of glucose in the brain was affected.” It is also known to cause hearing loss, infertility, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOD) in women. Research published by Dr. Lennart Hardell indicates that brain tumor risk increases with more years of cell phone use. Proving the effects of cell phone radiation are cumulative with more hours of use, those with the most usage had a 300% increase in having a brain tumor on the same side as a cell phone was most used. The official technical abstract of this study can be found here: According to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada, brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death in children under the age of 20, now surpassing acute lymphoblastic leukemia. They are the third leading cause of cancer death in young adults ages 20-39 “If these assumptions stand true and cell phone radiation is hazardous and even deadly – we could be facing an epidemic of cancers in 30-40 yr old’s in the near future; the explosive growth in smartphone usage among teens adds up to more RF exposure over their lifetime — much more than the cumulative exposure seen in adults today,” says John Coates, Founder of RF Safe. With all the doubt surrounding the safety of cell phone radiation, cell phone users need to adopt a precautionary approach to using cell phones as safe as possible.
