Just a few minutes a day on a mobile phone 'raises cancer risk'

‘Mobile phones can cause cancer and using one for just 17 minutes a day dramatically increases the risk, according to new research.

Heavy users have higher oxidative stress in their bodies. This is the harmful process that damages all aspects of a human cell including DNA and is a major risk factor for cancer.

Mobiles are currently classed as “potentially carcinogenic to humans” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Scientists have long been concerned about the possible harmful effects of regular mobile phone use. But no studies have produced clear results.

Now, a new analysis of the saliva of mobile users reveals chatting for as little as eight hours a month causes higher oxidative stress.’
