Cell Phones Can Lead To Cancer In Your Child's Brain

A child's brain tends to absorb more radiation than an adult's, according to collective evolution.

Dr. Martin Blank, Ph.D., from the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Colombia University, is now a member of the global group of scientists which is appealing to the United Nations regarding dangers associated with the use of diverse electromagnetic emitting devices, such as cells, phones and WiFi.

"The rate of microwave radiation (MWR) absorption is higher in children than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner, and their relative size is smaller. Fetuses are particularly vulnerable, because MWR exposure can lead to degeneration of the protective sheath that surrounds brain neurons, they report," according to webmd. "One study found that that the brain tissue of children absorbed about two times more MWR than that of adults, and other studies have reported that the bone marrow of children absorbs 10 times more MWR than that of adults."

Research shows that cell phone radiation can lead to cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) explains that cell phones are part of the radio frequency fields (including those from cell phones) that could be possibly transmitting carcinogens.

It was in 2011 that the World Health Organization (WHO) agreed that cell phone radiation could lead to cancer in a statement based on a collective conclusion arrived at by 31 scientists from 14 countries, who finished reviewing the factors that led to the case.

Already, the first generation of cell phone users is growing up---so the dangers could be imminent!
