Study Shows Cell Phones Do Not Cause Cancer
By Hanna A. Gordola

The Institute of Cancer Research in London found no links between cell phone use and brain tumors. This announcement came last Friday after the Institution concluded its four-year survey.

All 13 countries involved in the study found no differences between analog and digital phones. This was a concern in the past after Swedish scientists said last year that rural cell phone users are at a greater risk for developing brain tumors. This is because rural cell phone users need to use analog, which emits a higher power signal than digital phones.
