"Analysis restricted to regular users or to conditions that may yield higher levels of exposure (e.g. heavy use in rural areas) showed consistently elevated risks."
Here's another study that links tumor risks to cellular phone radiations. This time, it's from a group of Israeli scientists and it has been published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
The lead researcher was Dr Siegal Sadetzki, a cancer and radiation expert at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel. The research was undertaken as a World Health Organization project.
According to the study, there is 50% greater risk of developing parotid gland tumor among frequent mobile phone users. More so, when the phones were clamped on the same ear or users were not using hands-free devices.
A Swedish study has published similar findings before but to date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says there was no clear connection between cell phone use and an increased risk of cancer. More studies, accordingly, were necessary to prove such claims with great levels of certainty.
