No link between cancer and cell phones: study

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It’s the latest word on a long running and contentious debate; A major international study finds there is no link between cell phones and cancer.

Researchers in Denmark surveyed 350,000 people in what is being called the largest study ever done on the subject. They found there’s no difference in cancer rates between people who had used a cell phone for ten years and those who didn’t.

But critics say the study is inconclusive. The advocacy group MobileWise argues tumours can take decades to develop.

Last year, a separate study also found no clear connection, but it did hint at a possible association between heavy phone use and a rare but often deadly form of brain tumour.
