Human Brain Tumor Risk will Increased By 290% After 10 Years of Cellphone Use

As with many forms of technology, cell phones practically increased their invention, and in the last 10 years and the usage of these devices has been increased rapidly. In fact, so many people use cell phones these days that researchers actually believe that an individual that does not personally use a phone is still at elevated risks for the same health issues, as they are constantly exposed to others using that device.

How long have you been using your cell phone?

A month, years or 10 year - using a mobile device for any length of time is damaging to some degree, but new research is shedding light on just how significant of an influence extended cell phone use has on the brain. Swedish doctors recently completed a rather astonishing study that may get you thinking twice about your cell phone habits. The study showed that that 10 years of cell phone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of brain tumor develop on the side where the phone was held more frequently. 

With the increased number of cell phones on the citizens of the world comes something known as ‘second-hand cell phone use’. Just as with smoking, sitting in a bus, airplane, or train will expose you to upwards of several hundred cellphones at one time.

In addition to the increased risk of brain tumors, this new study found that cell phone usage actually changes the development a child’s brain, and they estimate that the increase in behavioral issues and brain tumors will have a dramatic spike in the coming years.


The large-scale global use of cell phones is essentially a massive biological experiment. The best way of protecting yourself from cell phone radiation is to simply not use it. When turning the phone off, it reduces the emission rate close to zero. This is not always an option for many.

Here are a few vital methods of reducing the damage:

1. Try and use the ‘speaker’ option on your cell phone when possible, holding it in your hand away from your head.
2. Turn your phone off at night or when you are not using it.
3. Place your phone in ‘airplane’ mode if you cannot turn it off entirely.

On a grander scale, it is essential to let your friends and family know the dangers of cell phone use. It is by generating awareness and getting those you know upset that real change will occur within the industry.
