Brain cells are impacted by cellular phone radiation in accordance with a recent study. The research detected an increase in the metabolism of brain cells. Brain cells were impacted in the part of the brain near the antenna of the mobile phone. Researches did not determine if the effects of cellular phones on brain cells was good or bad.
First time cell phone brain research
The first study undertaken to examining how electromagnetic radiation from cell phones impacts brain cells was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday. The way cells phones impact the glucose metabolism was studied. That is where normal brain cell function happens. Researchers found that exposure to cellular phones boosts the rate of glucose metabolism in brain cells more than they expected. Cells creating energy with glucose is what brain activity is. The way brain cells work is that it is produced as necessary. The glucose is produce whenever it is needed by the brain. According to the study, cell phones actually stimulate, artificially, the glucose metabolism although further investigation is needed to determine if brain cells are damaged by this.
Brain cancer because of mobile phone usage?
For years experts have been worried about mobile phone radiation from many phone calls. Previous test outcomes have been inconclusive. Nothing has been found before. You will find some famous cell phone radiation studies though. These link brain cancer with cell phone radiation. There was not any proof though. There was no way to link the brain cancer with the cell phone use. Scientists have tried to set up that cellular phone radiation may cause DNA mutations or other alterations in brain cells that result in cancer or dementia. The impact of cellular phones on children’s brains has been a particular concern because children have thinner skulls, the radiation penetrates further and their brain cells metabolize glucose faster.
Scientists suggest using the speakerphone
In a statement responding to the cellular phone brain cell research, the Wireless Association said scientific evidence proves that cell phones, used within limits established by the Federal Communications Commission, don’t pose a public health risk. Authors of the research suggested that until more is known about the effects of cell phone radiation on brain cells, individuals should use the speaker phone function or a Bluetooth earpiece as often as possible.
