Use Of Cellphones Linked With Brain Cancer In Massive Study
November 13, 2014 2:19 PM   Subscribe

Main article in October's Pathophysiology seems paywalled. Couldn't even get the abstract. HIGHLIGHTS: (1) 5,028 total in study. (2) Longer a person used a cell or cordless phone, the more likely they were to get brain gliomas. (3) The risk is three times higher after 25 years of use.

Yay! I just started using a cell phone in February! I don't plan on living another 25 years anyway, so.

Ouch. Damning. Sort of.

Is this based on using the phone for talking? Does anyone still do that?

The risk is three times higher than what base risk for brain glioma?

Luckily almost nobody uses phones to actually talk anymore.
