No Headlines: But Cell Phones are safe....

Here's another study showing that cell phones are safe.

Lonn and colleagues therefore studied 644 individuals, between 20 and 69 years old, with either glioma or meningioma -- the two most common forms of brain tumor. For comparison, their study also included 674 men and women who were of similar age and gender and lived in the same residential areas as the study participants.

Overall, men and women who reported regularly using their mobile phone -- at least once a week during the previous six months -- for any amount of time were not found to have a significantly greater risk of developing a brain tumor than those who did not report regular mobile phone use. This remained true even among those who said they had used a mobile phone for 10 years or longer, the report indicates.

"We observed no increased risk of glioma or meningioma related to mobile phone use, regardless of tumor histology, type of phone, and duration of use," the authors write in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
