Cellphone usage increases brain tumor risk

According to this article, a Swedish study indicates that prolonged cell usage increases the risk of brain tumor substantially.

This contradicts other studies by the Dutch and British, that did not find any harmful effects in the radiations from TV and Cell towers.

So, who is right ? I do not know, but keeping the cell usage to a minimum would not be a bad idea, both medically as well as financially

I try to use the speakerphone on the cell phone more nowadays. It keeps hands free, and it has the benefit of not placing it close to the head. Another option is to use a headset connected to the cell.
