Newspaper Review by: Rajaji    


Use of Cell phones does not cause tumours.
Cell phone users can breathe a sigh of relief. A recently conducted research
by Briton as part of a world wide study initiated by the World Health Organisation, has found no link between use of cell phones and brain tunours and laid to rest all rumours that was spreading and different media reports on the subject.
The experts looked at the links between use of cell phones and the incidence of glioma, the most common kind of tumour found in the head.
In all the experts studied about 966 patients with a glioma tumour over more than three years, alongside a control group of 1,716 persons probing their use of cell phones.
The investigating team could not find anything that indicated using a cell phone increased the risk of suffering a brain tumour, although they did find that the probability risk was slightly more.
