BLOG: Cell Phone And Brain Cancer: Is There A Connection?

Whether cell phone use can cause brain tumors? Today, this issue has become one of the most discussed and complicated fact. The Federal Government and representatives of the cellular industry beat their breasts, insisting that there was no evidence the cancer with radiation emitted by mobile phones and Smartphones. However, numerous research groups refer to these statements quite skeptical.

Scientists like to present evidence and make a large scale study, which was conducted in 13 countries among the 12000 participants and cost $ 24 million. His results, published the other day with a delay of several years, were designed to put an end to this dispute.

Unfortunately, these are very complicated. On the one hand the results of the study clearly states that a clear link between cell phone use and brain cancer. On the other hand, the 10% of people who over 10 years chatting on a cell phone 30 minutes or more per day, the risk of brain tumors is much higher than that of those who do not have a cell phone.

Meanwhile, the report noted that people using cell phones only from time to time, are less likely to get certain types of brain cancer than those who give preference to landline. The data supported the alleged radiation from a cellular phone in small doses can protect against some types of cancer.

The official verdict research is: "radio signals which correspond to the international standards, do not pose a threat to health". But consumer advocates still unhappy. They believe that the results of the study revealed a lower probability of cancer in all categories of users of cellular telephones (except "hard-core" users) compared to "nepol′zovatelâmi", a show about flaws in the methodology of the study itself. If the health risks are not there, then there would have been no correlation to disease between those who use cell phones and those who do not take them in hand.

If the mobile phone does not affect the risk of brain tumors, then why is the "heavy" users of the glioma develop on 40% more likely than all the rest. In addition, we remind that the "avid" are people using cell phone in just 30 minutes a day, while the duration and the average person is 21 minutes per day.

It is important to note that the results of the study, which is 5.5 years old, do not consider the impact of telephone radiation on brain child, the skull of which is much thinner than an adult 's.

Of course, this study does not prove and reverse-cell phone use increases the risk of brain cancer. Moreover, there is even scientific evidence that cell radiation may be a biological reason for the development of cancerous tumors.
