Cell Phone Radiation in Mice

After conducting a research at Yale School of Medicine, there is now evidence showing that exposure to cell phone radiation in the womb affects fetal brain development which could also lead to hyperactivity. The study was conducted on mice, and while the results can not be directly used on humans, it's still evident to see how cell phone radiation affects its users. The research conducted showed that adult mice that were exposed to radiation as fetuses were more likely to become hyperactive and anxious, and they also had less memory capacity. The researchers also claim that the behavioral problems found in the mice resembled those of ADHD. The survey also referenced another survey conducted in 2010 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health which showed a possible link between human prenatal cell phone exposure and childhood behavioral problems. Hopefully after reading these findings and conducting more research, skeptics might finally accept that there is indeed a link between radiation and health.

Big Steps in Health-Hazard Warning Labels on Cell Phones

The Environmental Health Trust (EHT) lauds Israeli Knesset overwhelming passage of a proposed law requiring health-hazard warning labels on cell phones and calls on the U.S. to follow suit. The Israeli labels will read, “Warning – the Health Ministry cautions that heavy use and carrying the device next to the body may increase the risk of cancer, especially among children.” Passed on February 29, the proposal will undergo further legislative review and makes it a criminal offense to advertise cell phones for children. A similar rule was issued in Turkey, following the EHT conference in Istanbul in May 2011.

In France, mobile phones are banned from primary schools, all phones must be supplied with a headset and advertising targeted at children is banned. The government has initiated a safety information programme through its National Institute for Prevention and Health Education.www.lesondesmobiles.fr/.

In Canada, the country’s public health service has issued new guidelines over children’s mobile phone use which include practical advice for under-18s on how to reduce exposure to radiation, including using a headset, texting and not carrying a phone on the body

Authorities in many other nations are taking a variety actions to promote awareness of potential cell phone risks, but all they really need to do is pick up a YUBZ Retro Handset to reduce up to 96% of cell phone radiation!
