Why You Shouldn't Worry About the New Study Linking Cellphones to Cancer.

▼ Concerns over whether cellphones can cause  cancerhave been around for years. Now, the issue is being raised yet again, as government researchers release the results of a major studythat found evidence linking high levels of cellphone radiation exposure to certain types of cancer in rodents.
But you probably don't need to be too worried about these results, for one important reason: You are not a male rat.
Indeed, the only clear link between cellphone radiation and cancer was found among male rats (not female rats or male or female mice), and the researchers stressed that the findings do not apply to humans.
What's more, the rodents were exposed to cellphone radiation— known as radio-frequency radiation — at greater levels, and for much longer periods, than what people experience, the researchers said.
"The exposures used in the studies cannot be compared directly to the exposure that humans experience when using a cellphone," John Bucher, a senior scientist with the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and co-author of the study, said in a statement. Bucher added that the mice were also exposed to radiation across their whole bodies, which is not what happens in people, who instead receive only local exposure to the specific area where they hold the phone.
Finally, the study examined the radio-frequency radiation used in 2G and 3G cellphones, which were standard at the time the study began but are no longer used routinely.
Still, the researchers said their findings question the long-held assumption that the radio-frequency radiation used by cellphones poses no health concern. They plan to conduct further studies to investigate the issue.

Yes, precautions are must but the worst killer is climate.  Let us first bother about that & do not use excess of any gadget or facilities provided to make your life better at that instant.

Now we all can breathe a sigh of relief. Cell phones have become more beloved than our best friends and relatives.
