Three hundred Million Americans have them, and we rely on them for everything. I'm talking about cell phones. The age of cell phones has reached all time heights with the birth of I-phones and smart phone technology. Cell phones have been linked to even more remarkable uses.A new government funded study has found that the radiation given off just after 50 minutes of being on your phone increases the activity of brain cells. According to the study, phones that were turned off didn't create the same activity. This is the first time in any study where they looked specifically at how electromagnetic radiation from cell phones affects glucose metabolism, which is a normal function in the brain.
Basically more brain activity means that your cells are creating more energy. A number of health risks have long time been associated with the use of cell phones from the radiation. The Interphone project, coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer wants to put those rumors to rest after doing the largest study on cell phone use. It included subjects who used cell phones for ten years or longer. The project concluded that overall no increase risk was observed with the use of cell phones.
Although these studies conclude that cell phone use is in fact non hazardous to one's health, a person with brain damage who exposes his or her self to radiation could be triggering something dangerous says the lead study author, Nora Valkow.
