There is no evidence to prove that using a cell phone can increase the risks of brain cancer, suggested a lastest study by Danish researchers.To arrive at the result, the researchers examined the health records from 1990 to 2007 for 358,403 Danish cell phone plan subscribers. They found that among people using cell phones for as long as 13 years or more, the cancer risks were almost the same as for non-subscribers. The finding, published in the British Medical Journal last week, alleviated the fear among the world\'s 5 billion cell phone users. Five months ago, a statement from the World Health Organization\'s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) sparked fear in cell phone users around the world because it said that cell phone use might cause brain cancer. However, the finding could not rule out the risk of brain cancer triggered by heavy use of cell phones, admitted Patrizia Frei of the Danish Cancer Society\'s Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, lead author of the study. Frei added, cited by CNN, \"There are still some open questions, about greater amounts of use, and about the effects on children.\" The IARC did not give formal response to the study, but it offered some ways for cell phone consumers to reduce possible risks months ago. Texting and using hands-free sets for voice calls lower exposure to potentially harmful radiation, compared to device-to-ear voice calls, by at least 10-fold, IARC stated, reported by the New York Daily News.
