According to a new study the longer we talk over our mobiles, in terms of hours and years , there is an increased risk to develop glioma, a deadly form of brain cancer. It also found that brain tumour rates were three times more among people, who spoke on cell or cordless phones after more than 25 years than those who did not use them.

Lennart Hardell, lead researcher and oncologist from the University Hospital in Orebro in Sweden was quoted by Daily Mail as saying. Swedes who talked on cell phones for over 25 years, had three times the risk of one type of brain cancer, compared with people who used those phones for under a year.

For the study, Lennart Hardell and his colleague Michael Carlberg matched 1,380 patients with malignant brain tumours to people without such tumours. They also compared their phone use. People who reported using cordless or mobile phones for 20 to 25 years had higher risk of being diagnosed with glioma as compared with those who reported using them for less than a year,

Earlier the study led by the University of Exeter said that Men, who keep a mobile phone in their trouser pocket, could be affected with male fertility. So with such studies around it is clear that using cell phones are dangerous for health but now the question can such theories lessen our mobile phone usage? Share your opinion by commenting below.
