Professor claims we are sleep walking to a cancer disaster – Britain is sleep-walking into a mobile phone health scandal as the Government ignores a link to cancer, a leading expert has warned.
Mobile phone emissions have been shown to increase the risk of THREE types of cancer in some studies – yet ministers are doing nothing to change weak official guidelines on how much they should be used. Radiation specialist Professor Denis Henshaw said ignoring the risks of mobile phone emissions could prove as serious as playing down the link between smoking and lung cancer in the 1960s.
Thousands of parents are expected to buy mobile phones for their children as Christmas presents unaware they could be the most dangerous gifts they ever receive. Radiation from mobiles has more of an effect on children because it’s claimed their thinner skulls let more rays penetrate the brain.But the only official Government advice is a few confusing sentences on a leaflet and the internet, which have not been updated for THREE YEARS – and which most parents do not know exists.
