Biggest Ever Study Shows No Link Between Mobile Phone Use and Tumors

BMJ-British Medical Journal. "Biggest ever study shows no link between mobile phone use and tumors." ScienceDaily, 20 Oct. 2011. Web. 26 Oct. 2011.

In the previous years it was thought that the large use of mobile phones would affect our health, starting from the central nervous system and brain tumors.  This hypothesis was though because of the great number of mobile phone users worldwide.

Danish researchers have been studying a lot to get to a answer and now they have found one. The mobile phone use has nothing to do with the risk of any brain tumors.

The author also says: “Previous studies on a possible link between phone use and tumors have been inconclusive particularly on long-term use of mobile phones. Some of this earlier work took the form of case control studies involving small numbers of long-term users and were shown to be prone to error and bias”

When the scientists took away phone from certain people, the rate of cancer didn’t change, so no increase or decrease of cancer.

I picked this article because it seemed interesting especially because now the number of phone users is increasing and this could have been a danger to people who use it, but now we are relieved that cell phones don’t affect our health.
