Cell Phones

I’ve heard lately that there are people that believe that cellular devices can actually cause tumors to form in the brain if used for too long. The studies, apparently, show that the radiation from the phone has the potential to cause the tumors. I would just like to say that this is a crock full of crap. Cell phone radiation, like radio, TV, and visible light radiation, is non-ionizing and cannot cause cancer. Cell phone radiation levels are tested and certified by the manufacturer to meet safe levels which have been established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In fact, there are some studies that suggest that the use of a cell phone actually decreases the risk of developing the brain tumors glioma and meningioma. If cell phones were actually causing cancer, which they’re not, we would expect a rise in the rate of brain and other related cancers; according to the National Cancer Institute, there has been no increase in the incidence of brain or other nervous system cancers despite the large increase in cell phone usage. Cell phones are not at all to blame for cancer or tumors; the radiation in a cell phone is less harmful then the visible rays of light outside. So, if you are worried about getting cancer from cell phone usage, don’t go outside.
