Over the past few years, there have been constant debates and arguments over whether or not cell phones can cause cancer. An article written by Maria Cheng, a Medical Writer for AP, which can be found on Yahoo! News discusses a recent study conducted to determine if it is true that cell phones cause cancer. The Danish Strategic Research Council conducted a study on more than 350,000, and concluded that cell phone usage does not increase chances of cancer. They proved that cancer does not have a high enough amount of radiation to be considered dangerous, nor is it more likely to get a brain tumor near an area which is more exposed to a cell phone than any other area. Despite this study, and various other studies conducted around the world, many people are still uncertain as to whether or not cell phones increase chances of cancer. They claim that these studies are not long enough to determine long-term effects of cell phone usage. However, there has not been an increase in cancer in people since cell phones have come in use.
It is important to know about studies like this, because they can be crucial to our health. There will constantly be new discoveries about everyday objects, which can affect the health of the millions of people who use it. Cell phones are just one of these objects, and will continuously be tested to determine all health side effects. It is important for us to know what is beneficial to our health, what is harmful, and what will neither benefit nor harm us. Articles like this help provide us with that information.
