Many people have suspected for years that EMF frequencies and cell phone radiation are to blame for the increasing rates of modern-day diseases, such as Cancer. But because there have been few scientific studies to back up such claims, individuals predisposed to believing such have been labeled as ‘quacks’. That is, until now. 

As NY Daily reports, a recent meta-study conducted by lead author Igor Yakymenko proves that cell phone radiation is contributing to the development of brain tumors.

The study reveals how radio frequency from one’s phone can damage DNA. Long-term, this may result in health conditions such as cancer, headaches, fatigue, and even skin problems. 

“For example, using your phone for just 20 minutes a day for five years increased the risk of one type of brain tumor threefold, and using the phone an hour a day for four years upped the risk of some tumors three to five times,” study author Igor Yakymenko said.

Because symptoms can take up to 30 years to develop, this finding should not be dismissed, but taken seriously as a warning to limit one’s exposure to cell phone radiation.

As RT reports:

“Yakymenko said that cellphone use for 20 minutes a day for five years can boost the risk of one type of brain tumor by three times, while using a cellphone for an hour a day for four years and increase the risk of certain tumors by three to five times.”

The team of researchers used data obtained from adults who used cell phones mostly up to 10 years as adults. “The situation can dramatically differ for children who use cells phone in childhood, when their biology much more sensitive to hazardous factors, and will use it over the life,” said Yakymenko.

And you can’t go anywhere, it seems, without seeing a toddler or teen playing with a smartphone or tablet.. making this even more concerning news.

Yakymenko suggests for everyone to minimize their risk by using their phone less and going ‘hands-free’ to keep the frequency away from one’s head. Ultimately, the decision is yours.
