Mobiles Don’t Cause Cancer

posted in - Doc, - Medical Updates |

A new study shows that after 21 years of use, mobile phones do not cause cancer.

Mobile phones have no effect at all on the risk of cancer, the largest and longest-running investigation yet conducted has found.

A study that has followed 420,000 mobile phone users in Denmark, for up to 21 years, has comprehensively debunked the common fear of a link to cancer, and shows that mobile phone users have the same chance of developing the disease as the general population.

“We found no evidence for an association between tumour risk and cellular telephone use among either short-term or long-term users,” said Christoffer Johansen, of the Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, who led the research.

“Moreover, the narrow confidence intervals provide evidence that any large association of risk of cancer and cellular telephone use can be excluded.”
