Mobile phone cancer link debunked

_41234784_mobile_child203.jpg Mobile phone use does not lead to a greater risk of brain tumour, the largest study on the issue has said, reports the BBC.

"The research, which was carried out by the British arm of an international project called Interphone, reiterates most earlier studies that there is no connection between cancer and mobile phone use.

... The National Radiological Protection Board said the research was good news, but that it did not give mobile phones a clean bill of health.

The board said it would not be changing its advice that children should not make unnecessary mobile phone calls."
