Cancer risk low from use of mobile phones

Since the day cell phones became available more widely, there have been widely published reports that people who are glued to their phones may get brain cancer. The evidence was, however, mostly anecdotal, though several doctors and even brain surgeons reported seeing changes in the brains of people who used mobile phones a lot.

Now there is one study by Institute of Cancer Research that shows that after use of a phone for ten years, no risk of cancer could be found. It is important to understand that this study, or for that matter, no study has yet shown that cell phone radiation will not increase the risk of cancer.

What can you do to reduce the exposure from radiation from cell phones?

1. Use headphones. These are very inexpensive. And if you do not mind spending a little bit more money you can buy the so-called bluetooth headphones that operate wirelessly and can be used not just with cell phones but also other Nokia, Motoroa, Ericsson, etc.
