A new study out of Sweden reports a link between cell phone use and brain tumors. But other recent studies deny any connection. If you are one of the estimated 206 million wireless subscribers in the U.S., whom should you believe?
Researchers Lennart Hardell, Michael Carlberg and Kjell Mild at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life report that there was an increased risk for malignant brain tumors for both cellular and cordless phone users, with the highest risk being for heavy users. Heavy use in this case was more than 2,000 hours over 10 years (which works out to about an hour per workday). They claim the tumors were more common on the side of the head the cell phone was used.
What’s the potential danger?
