Long-term mobile phone use raises brain tumor risk
So the cell phone studies war is gearing into a full blown scale. I am very inclined to believe studies which show cell phones are somewhat harmful, depending on the conditions of their use, such as this new Swedish study:
The study also shows that the rise in risk is noticeable for tumors on the side of the head where the phone was said to be used," it added.
Kjell Mild, who led the study, said the figures meant that heavy users of mobile phones, for instance of who make mobile phone calls for 2,000 hours or more in their life, had a 240 percent increased risk for a malignant tumor on the side of the head the phone is used.
"The way to get the risk down is to use handsfree," he told Reuters.
