Cell Phones and Brain Tumors

In September 2009 the journal of Surgical Neurology published a meta-analysis reviewing eleven long term studies on the effects of cell phone usage and brain tumors. The conclusion of the study was that utilizing a cell phone for greater than or equal to ten years roughly doubles one's risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the side of usage.
Based upon this research I think it would be judicious to minimize cell phone usage and consider a blue tube headset.

Keeping one's antioxidant defenses high would theoretically provide some protection against this. Yours in health, Drs. Chris & Lauren Caffery
