A new Swedish study suggests that mobile phone use can raise the risk of brain tumors, which contradicts previous studies.
The new study was conducted by researchers at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life. The researchers compared the use of mobile phones among 905 people between the age of 20 and 80 who had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and found a link. Of the 905 people whi participated in the study 85 of them were said to be high users of mobile phones. It was also noted that the tumors often appear on the side of the head that the mobile phone is used.
