Mobiles don't give your brain a battering London:
Mobile users can now set aside fears of causing damage to their brain,
for a new study has claimed that the device does little harm to the memory
of users. According to The Sun, researchers at Essex University, led by
Professor Riccardo Russo, strapped mobiles to volunteers' heads and asked
them to do several memory tests. Participants were not told whether the
phones were on or off. Contrary to previous studies that had claimed that
electromagnetic radiation from phones fried the brain, and could cause
cancer and alter DNA, the new study could not find any difference in participants'
mental performance. "Our research is more reliable. We used 170 people
while most studies use around 20. We looked at how radiation may affect
memory and we are quite confident it didn't show any influence," Russo,
was quoted as saying.
