Cellphone can cause cancer - Italian Supreme Court Rules

Live healthy and long

From newsmaxhealth

In a landmark ruling, the Italian Supreme Court has ruled that cellphone can cause cancer.  This is from the case of Italian businessman, 60, Innocente Marcolini who developed non malignant brain tumor, after 12 years, 6 hours a day use of cellphone.  The ruling was based on expert testimony of oncologist Angelo Gino Levis and neurosurgeon Guiseppe Grasso.

This could open floodgates of class action suit vs. cellphone companies and telcos. Across the globe, the ruling may embolden plaintiffs for damage suits on similar cases.

The Agency for Research on Cancer (an arm of WHO) sent alarm bells on cancer and cellphones, elevating the same with DDT and ``diesel fuel (Category 2B)

Some safety reminders:

l.  Use speakerphones to keep headset away from head.

2.  Use headsets:  wireless or wired

3.  When signal is weak, hang up.  Radiation is highest when signal is weak and cellphone seeks connection.
