Cell Phones Linked to Brain Tumors A report by Toronto Public Health advises children to limit their use of cell phones as much as possible, citing studies that have linked long-term mobile phone exposure to an increased risk of brain tumors. “We think it’s responsible to limit children’s exposure,†the researchers wrote. “While scientists were pretty dismissive of any risk years ago, with the accumulation of studies, it appears people who have been using their phones for a long period of time are at greater risk of certain kinds of brain tumors.†said report co-author Loren Vanderlinden. Toronto Public Health recommends that children use land lines whenever possible, using mobile phones only for “essential purposes.†When cell phones are used, the report urges children to keep calls shorter than 10 minutes and to use headsets or other hands-free devices as much as possible. Limiting cellular phone use is especially important for pre-adolescents, the authors said. “Teach [children] the ways to use a cell phone responsibly,†Vanderlinden advised parents. “To make shorter calls, to use other modes of communication; if it’s possible, use a landline.†cell phones linked brain tumors
I had a conversation with a brain surgeon a few years ago and asked him about cell phone use. He told me cell phones are nothing compared to your microwave. When you turn it on to cook some food. Leave the room until it's done.
Yeah I think this study has been going around for some time. There is also one about cellphones affecting male infertility: http://www.goodcellphonereviews.com/heavy-cell-phone-use-tied-to-poorer-sperm-quality/
I have heared the news before but I don't there there is concrete proof yet about the health risk of cellphones.
There is No solid Proof show the mobile phone WILL NOT HARM THE HEALTH. So we have to limit its use. Especially for children.
