Study suggests a connection between wireless devices and cancer

A bit of Background for the connection

Cancer has always been very concerning in and of itself, especially when it is afflicting those you know and around you. This is why the WHO organized the International Agency for Research on Cancer to help find causes, cures, and treatment for cancer.

At a certain point in time in May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified RFR, or radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, as a possible carcinogen to people. This was due to the rising concern of the negative health effects from continual exposure to RFR via wireless devices, thereby beginning the connection between wireless devices and cancer.

Research suggested that these RFR might have long-term effects and may increase the risk for cancer. Although the evidence for the research was judged to be inadequate, new research suggests that might have been a call made too soon.

The connection between wireless devices and cancer

A review study that was published in the Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine on the 7th of this month took on the task of looking over that connection between wireless devices and cancer. The press release for the research said that the study suggested a metabolic imbalance caused by the radiation from wireless devices could be a factor for many health risks.

The study goes on to explore the effects of low radiofrequency radiation has on the metabolism and has shown some signs of what is called oxidative stress. The presence of this type of stress may help to explain a number of illnesses that can arise after being exposed to RFR for too long.

What does this mean?

With all the data of the study about the connection between wireless devices and cancer, researchers of the study have concluded that there is a connection between the two. The exposure to low RFR acts as a danger to living cells that cause oxidative stress to arise, which then can lead to numerous health ailments.

As a result of the connection between wireless devices and cancer, the researchers also asked the public to be leery of using said devices for reasons of health concerns. Only more research can be reveal if the truths be behind concerns are set in stone.
