Mobile Phone: It Increases Brain Activity!
by There are many studies exonerating the mobile phone as studies reporting an increased risk of brain tumors among heavy cell phone users. A U.S. study sheds new light on the risks of mobile phone to our brain. The mobile phone has measurable effects on the brain.
Beyond 50 minutes of using a mobile phone, the consumption of sugar increases in the brain area next to the phone’s antenna. This means that the electromagnetic field of the cell increases the excitability of the brain.
In reaching this conclusion, a team of U.S. researchers asked 47 volunteers to place a cell phone, sometimes on the right ear, sometimes to the left, with the phone turned on and off. Meanwhile, consumption of sugar by the brain was measured: a difference of 7% was found between the area of the brain next to the antenna of the mobile and the rest of the brain, as the cell phone was on or not.
No evidence of a risk of brain tumors with a mobile phone
However, is it harmful or not? This new study does not answer this question. Therefore, the Centre for Research and independent information about electromagnetic radiation, or CRIIREM, continues to advise common sense, in particular:
• Choosing a mobile phone with the SAR (specific absorption rate corresponding to the power of the radiation absorbed locally by the human body) is the lowest possible.
• The off rather than leaving it on standby or so, away from at least one meter.
• Use a headset to make calls and use the phone for longer conversations.
