Cell phones and cancer
There have been studies over the years that come out yes and no. I don't take chances- I don't carry my cell in my pocket and I use the speaker mode most of the time.
Can cellphones really cause cancer? It’s been a question that’s dogged researchers for years.However, a group of experts say the results of some tests are pretty surprising.
Millions of people constantly call, text, click, take pictures and play on cellphones.
Even the top cellular radiation researchers from around the world have a hard time untethering.
But, they gathered recently in North Carolina to talk about cellphone concerns and whether they really do increase the chances of developing cancer.
The panel voted that the results from years of testing on mice and rats were more significant than originally thought.
They say they found clear evidence that phone radiation caused tumors in the hearts of rats, which were similar to tumors in people.
“In humans, it’s seen in the vestibular nerve, in the ear, the acoustic nerve. We found it in the heart, although our animals were exposed in their whole body condition,” John Bucher said.
