Mobile Phone Use Linked to Brain Tumors

From the Daily Express:

LONG-term mobile phone users could face a higher risk of developing cancer in later life, according to a decade-long study.

The report, to be published later this year, has reportedly found that heavy mobile use is linked to brain tumours.

The survey of 12,800 people in 13 countries has been overseen by the World Health Organisation.


That's the third reason now for caution in ubiquitous cell phone use. It's not going to kill mankind, like reason number one, but still a good one.

This seems akin to smoking. You know it's bad for you in the long run, but can you stop doing it?
