Can you say your cell phone is friend or a foe?With the increasing upsurge of cancer even amongst young people then this is definitely worth pondering over!
Many have wondered what could possibly be causing cancer!As this is almost turning rhetorical yet is a major cause for concern.
What are the Risk of developing cancer through cell phones?[b][/b]
Cell phones emit a form of electromagnetic field called radio frequency (RF) radiation. We have long been led to believe that this radiation is harmless because of the low power levels involved, and because it’s non-ionizing.

Unfortunately, this cell phone radiation has the ability to penetrate our bodies and cause untold damage.

Perhaps the biggest red flag is the WHO classification. In 2011 the WHO finally took a position on the issue and classified cell phone radiation as a possible 2B carcinogen. True, the WHO did only classify cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen, not a probable carcinogen. But a growing number of experts believe this classification does not sufficiently protect the public. Then there are the thousands of peer-reviewed studies which support this.

Using Your Cell Phone a Half Hour Per Day Increases Your Risk of Brain Tumor By 40%

Thousands of studies link cell phone radiation to a long list of serious illnesses – including cancer. Cell phone radiation exposure has been principally linked to two types of brain tumors − gliomas and acoustic neuromas.

Gliomas – a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine are typically malignant and they are particularly deadly. Most people survive only 1 to 3 years after diagnosis of this kind of tumor.

Acoustic neuromas – though non-malignant (low-grade cancer), are in many cases life threatening given that they are an intracranial (within the skull) tumor.

The granddaddy of all the studies into the dangers of cell phone radiation is the Interphone Study. At a cost of $25 million, this is the largest study of cell phone use and tumor risk conducted to date. It found that “regular use of a cell phone by adults can significantly increase the risk of gliomas by 40% with 1640 hours or more of use.” This equates to about 30 minutes per day over ten years.

What then can you do to protect yourself or reduce your risk of exposure to brain tumors?
Since it will be very impossible to stay away from using cell phones,then we can practice this daily routines as a precautionary methods:-
Limit cell phone calls to those that are absolutely necessary
Avoid making or receiving calls in places with bad reception
Put your phone on airplane mode when you are not using its wireless functions
Avoid carrying your cell phone in your pocket or anywhere on your body when it’s switched on
Use earphones, preferably an airtube headset, so you won’t have to put your cell phone close to your head (Note: Do NOT a Bluetooth headset which also emits radiation)
Do not take your cell phone into your bedroom at night. If you must, keep it in airplane mode and as far from your head as possible
Choose to text instead of calling whenever possible
If a long conversation is in place, opt to meet the person directly or call on a land line
