Cell Phones Unlikely to Cause Cancer - Breast Implants, Coffee Safe Too

Mobile phones, drinking coffee or having breast implants will not
cause cancer or slow the brain, according to a recently published
study by an Australian cancer specialist to debunk popular myths.

During the past two decades, the use of mobile phone has increased
rapidly worldwide but there is no hard evidence to prove that the
technology causes health problems.

The cancer risk assessment reaffirms smoking, alcohol, and exposure to
sunlight as leading risk factors, but allays concerns about coffee,
mobile phones, deodorants, breast implants, and water with added
fluoride.

Active smokers and ex-smokers to be the most at risk, although the
risk is reduced for people who quit smoking. Drinking alcohol was also
a high risk factor, particularly for people who also smoke, although
no specific type of alcoholic drink was most strongly to blame.
