It’s a debate almost as old as the cell phone itself. Does cell phone radiation have any negative effects? And does cell phone use increase the risk of brain tumors? No, a long-term study carried out in Great Britain now confirms.
The result of the long-term study
Cell phone use is not directly linked to an increased risk of brain tumors. The result is now the analysis of the long-term UK Million Women Study, which has been running since 1996.
This is now reported by the research team led by Joachim Schüz from the International Cancer Research Center IARC in Lyon in an update of the study in the “Journal of the National Cancer Institute”.
In 2001 and again in 2011, hundreds of thousands of women answered various questions about their cell phone usage habits, and 800,000 women completed the first questionnaire in its entirety, 3,300 of whom went on to develop a tumor in their cell phone. brain. Frequency, when, and how long the female subjects had used a cell phone had no effect.
Other effects of cell phone radiation
The effects of cell phone radiation on the human body have been the subject of global research for several years. The main objective was to find out what effect radiation from a mobile phone, often used very close to the head, has on the brain.
Following the study from Great Britain, the German Society of Neurology communicates that Handy radiation is not sufficient to damage the genetic material contained in cell nuclei and cause cancer, reports the MDR. Even when body temperature changes, the radiation emitted by cell phones is not strong enough, they say.
The researchers also point out in the study that radiation has decreased significantly over the years as modern cell phone technology has advanced. At the same time, an excessively used smartphone today reaches approximately the same level of radiation as a moderately used device from the first generations of cell phones.
While it is thus considered confirmed that cell phone radiation has no effect on the risk of brain tumors, the University of Lübeck only published the results of another long-term study in April of this year. Here it was possible to prove that radiation has an effect on appetite and food intake.
In almost all subjects, the radiation caused an increase in total caloric intake of 22 or 27 percent, depending on the cell phones used in the experiment.
