Mobile Phone Use Not Related to Increased Brain Cancer Risk, UK Study Suggests

The belief that "talking on mobile phones gives you brain cancer" is now being disproved. In a nine year study in the U.K., there has been no significant increases in brain cancer diagnoses of mobile phone users. Scientists believe it is more likely that it can cause an existing brain tumor to grow than causing cancer itself. Some people can be more susceptible to radio waves, some scientists say. An increase in brain cancer rates has occurred, but in a very small amount. If the radio waves are causing the new cases of brain cancer, it only added less than 1 in 100,000 cases in the past decade.

It is a nice thing to know that mobile phones are't causing brain cancer. Mobile phones are being used too much today, so if the belief were true, many people would be diagnosed with brain cancer. It puts a feeling of comfort in your mind when the thought of mobile phones causing brain cancer doesn't pass through it. This shows that not all theories are correct and they have to be tested before they can be believed. It is a very good thing that this theory isn't true, especially for me, because I use my phone a lot more than I need to.
