according to a news release from the World Health Organization. The
organization formed a panel of experts who analyzed evidence ?on the
link between cell phones and brain tumors. The group concluded that
cell phones may increase a user's risk of gliomas, a malignant type of
brain tumor.
It is important to note that this conclusion is not based on a new
study, but several different studies. Past research on the association
between brain tumors and cell phone use has been inconsistent. Some
studies have found a link, others have not.
What Does This Mean for You?
Before you terminate your contract with wireless service provider,
know that this classification does not mean that you will get cancer
if you use a cell phone. It means that there may be an association,
but more research need to be conducted to determine a definitive link.
If future studies find a definitive link, then cell phones would
likely be upgraded from 'possibly carcinogenic' to 'carcinogenic'.
