Hold the phone, Central! Cellphone radiation can cause cancer: study
29 July

"These data are a clear sign of the real risks this kind of radiation poses for human health," study author Igor Yakymenko said.

Yakymenko’s meta-study — basically a study of hundreds of other studies — reveals many findings of previous researchers into how radiofrequency from your phone can damage DNA.

That damage can add up over time and cause a variety of health problems, like cancer, headaches, fatigue and even skin problems.

For example, using your phone for just 20 minutes a day for five years increased the risk of one type of brain tumor threefold, and using the phone an hour a day for four years upped the risk of some tumors three to five times, Yakymenko said.

Most of the time I use my phone for everything BUT talking on the phone. I wonder if just holding it and playing a game or texting has the same effects.

I'm safe. I rarely, if ever, talk on my cellphone.
