Stumble It!Cell phones are as much a part of society as driving cars. And, like cars, there’s always some controversy to using them. A new study shows that cell phone use are now linked to brain cancer. But, that fact may not be enough to get people to stop using their mobile technology.
Cell phones are everywhere and can go anywhere. Some people even use them in place of a house phone. But what is so common these days might actually harm you. According to one of the world’s top neurosurgeons, Doctor Vini Khurana, mobile phones *could* kill far more people than smoking or asbestos.
“Yeah, I believe it’s true,” says Darrell Allen.
Darrell Allen has two cell phones: one for his personal use and another for his business. Ever since cell phones were invented, scientists have tried to inform the public about the possible dangers of using the technology. Although Allen acknowledges that modernizing and convenience comes with a price, he’s not too quick to give up his 21st century lifestyle.
“There’s something out there that’s going to get us anyhow, and I need it on my business,” Allen tells Newschannel 32.
Cell phones are not only an important part of people lives, they can even save lives in emergencies. But, the study shows that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. In fact, both French and German health officials have warned against the dangers of cell-phone use for years, especially for children. As with most things, only time will tell.
The author of the study has called on the government and the mobile phone industry to take immediate steps to reduce exposure to their radiation.
We should note, however, not everyone agrees there is a link between cell phones and cancer.
This study by Dr. Kharana is being peer reviewed to verify the claims.
