Cell phone use has been a subject of controversy for years with many researchers blaming cell phone radiation for an increased risk of brain tumor or salivary gland cancer, for low motility of sperm or for behavioral problems in children whose mothers used cell phones in excess while pregnant.
Studies have poured for years but with no clear connection between cell phone radiation and negative effects on human body. But the situation is not new. It took 50 years for tobacco companies to admit that there is a clear connection between smoking and lung cancer, with many people dying meanwhile. It could be the same situation in the case of cell phone use, David Carpenter, director of the Institute of Health and Environment at the University of Albany, said in testimony before a subcommittee of the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform.
