We have been talking for years about the risks induced by the use of mobile phones, in terms of brain cancer. An Australian study finds that there is no cause and effect link.
No formal proof of the link between brain cancer and mobile phone
It is researchers from the University of Sydney who are reviving the debate on this subject which has been so controversial for so many years. In a study published by the leading journal The International Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, this team claims to have studied more than 34,000 cases of brain tumors diagnosed in Australia between 1982 and 2012 … Without having found any signs of an increase in the number of cancers, when the mobile phone appeared in the country.
The frequency of diagnosis of brain cancer has not changed during this entire period, except … except in the over 70s, but this, well before the appearance of the mobile!
Sufficient hindsight after thirty years of mobile phone exposure
After thirty years of exposure to mobile phone waves, statistically, if they could cause or promote the onset of brain cancer, it should start to show. And yet, in Australia, but also in other countries such as France, no significant increase in the number of cases of brain tumors has been recorded to date, directly or supposedly linked to the mobile phone.
On the other hand, the number of tumors detected is increasing, but this is thanks to advances in medical imaging, in particular thanks to MRI. Brain tumors are detected much earlier, often during the lifetime of patients, when they were not yet even looked for in elderly, senile or dying patients.
