The truth about mobile phones and cancer
A scientist tells BBC’s “Truth or Scare” the amount of radio waves emitted by mobile phones is so small, it doesn’t damage cells in our bodies. They found no evidence that should cause worry.

Why, then do we see more brain tumors? Is it mere coincidence that brain cancer has increased at the same time cellphone usage has?

The reason we’ve seen more diagnoses of brain cancers is because the scientific community has gotten better at detecting cancers, the BBC scientist says. In fact, they point out that the most significant health risk of mobile phones is distracted driving (and distracted walking).

Research about mobile phones and cancer
In the United Kingdom, brain cancer diagnoses have increased 34% over the past 20 years. But, as Cancer Research UK (CRUK) points out, cell phone ownership in the UK rose by 500% between 1990 and 2016. So if phones were to blame for the increase, CRUK researchers say the rate of brain cancer would be much higher.

In the U.S., the National Cancer Institute tells us there are three reasons that make us worry about cell phones and brain cancer:

Cell phones emit radio-frequency radiation from their antennas. The head is nearest to the antenna.
The number of cell phone users has increased rapidly.
The time we spend on cell phones has increased.
Here’s the good news: Mobile phones emit non-ionizing radiation. They’re safe.
