In the early part of the 21st century the world’s mobile phone users were presented with a quite terrifying concept – that their use of cell phones caused an increased risk of brain tumors, and that anyone using a mobile phone with regularity was presenting themselves with a possible death sentence. <\/p>\n
It had some weight as a theory – after all, cell phones send out radio waves and those have to go somewhere. <\/p>\n
It made sense to many people that there could be a chance of this radiation causing a tumor to grow inside the head of the cell phone user. <\/p>\n
It was certainly enough of a story to dominate the news for at least a while, and to persuade a number of wavering non-users to remain without a cell phone. <\/p>\n
However, research carried out since then has quite uniformly demolished the argument that mobile phone use carries any increased risk of brain tumors. <\/p>\n
A Danish study in 2006 followed more than 400,000 users – backdated over the course of twenty years – and found that there was absolutely no increased risk of brain cancer from mobile phone use. <\/p>\n
The extensive studies carried out before and since have also presented no argument that increased use of mobile phones makes it any more likely that the user will suffer a brain tumor. <\/p>\n
It is hard to say if the risk is increased even when the user has what might be considered an “addiction” to talking on their mobile phone – although if you remain doubtful, sending texts when it is appropriate is a worthwhile safety option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
