Cellphones and Health

Recent studies have tied cellphone use to rises in brain damage, cheek cancer and malfunctioning sperm.

Many new cellphones now come with the small-print warning that they are to be kept at least one-inch from the ear (presumably for safety reasons). Most troubling of all, research has shown that children and teenagers are particularly susceptible to cellphone radiation, thus raising questions about its effects on coming generations.

So be on the safer side:

    * Use texting instead of voice calling.
    * Use an earpiece if you must voice call.
    * Keep your cell phone at least an inch away from your body at all times while it’s on.
