By As people interested in gadgetry and news about them I doubt there is at least one of you readers that doesn’t have a cell phone.
Starting with that it is fair to assume that all of us have several concerns that come with the daily use of cell phones.
While some would stop at worrying about battery charge status or even overall battery life, there are those among us with a deeper concern than that.
Cell phone usage
After some researchers hit a bit of a dead end they came up with a rather disturbing fact to share about the way cell phones work.
We already knew how radio frequency fields were involved in the inner workings of cell phones. That was a little bit of information we didn’t care much for until these researchers told us they were dangerous to our health.
And this wasn’t the sort of danger people didn’t respond to, researchers claimed that cell phone radio waves are so harmful that they could eventually lead to cancer.
A new research lead by a different authority and the results seem to conflict with these older claims.
The Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection’s research results (the new ones), were published in Environmental Health Perspectives, a peer-reviewed journal with quite a bit of drama surrounding it.
Anthony Swerdlow of Britain’s Institute of Cancer Research, the leading authority of this new study wanted to make it as clear as possible that cell phones don’t give you cancer.

The previous researchers, the World Health Organization hasn’t made any statement on the matter but their rating of cell phones as being “possibly carcinogenic” still stands.
This new study makes cell phones seem a lot friendlier and it will hopefully knock down some of the paranoia against cell phone usage.
Before you all stand around using cell phones for hats 24 hours a day you may want to know that both the animal testers and the cancer researchers left themselves a back door to these results.
Cell phones don’t give you any cancer, but let’s remember that no data exists for those using the mobile terminals for more than 10-15 years or as children.
