Long-term mobile use increases brain tumour risk: AIIMS study

Study asserts phone radiation can cause tumours, finds mismatch between govt and industrial findings. After several global studies failed to find a link between mobile radiation and brain tumour, an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-led research on the subject has found patterns that establish a link between the two, even as industry-funded research tends to undermine the risk of extended use of cell phones.

INVISIBLE THREAT - The Link Between Wireless Radiation and a Host of Serious Illnesses: The longtime president of Microsoft Canada is now our country’s leading advocate for wireless radiation safety.  Vitality invited high tech leader Frank Clegg, now CEO of the new non-profit organization, Canadians for Safe Technology (C4ST), to update our readers on what Canada is (or is not) doing to protect your health, and what you can do in this election year to protect yourself and your children.

How Dangerous is Your Cell Phone? There’s no doubt that cell phones are dangerous — at least in one way: Texting and driving leads to countless car accidents, injuries, and deaths.

Increasing Rates of Brain Tumours in the Swedish National Inpatient Register and the Causes of Death Register: There has been a rapid increase in the use of both mobile and cordless phones during the last two decades. Worldwide, an estimate of 6.9 billion mobile phone subscriptions were reported at the end of 2014 by the International Telecommunication Union.
