A few days ago, we talked about the dangers of smoking and hoped that everyone could learn a lesson from it. But if you knew that, according to medical statistics, the number of people who die each year because of mobile phones is greater than those who die because of cigarettes, you would be very surprised!

Head - Increased risk of brain tumors

Dr. Dipa, director of the Oncology Center at Georgetown University in the United States, said: "Our latest research, together with previous studies, shows that using mobile phones increases the potential risk of developing brain tumors." Similarly, after analyzing 11 related global studies, they found that using a mobile phone for an hour every day is enough to increase the risk of brain tumors over the long term.

Experts remind: Use hands-free earphones when making calls, and remember not to put the mobile phone close to your ear during the first five seconds of the call.

Eyes - Frequent mobile phone use can lead to cataracts

An eight-year experiment has confirmed that even if the mobile phone is within the international radiation safety standard, long-term use can still cause damage to parts of the body such as the eyes. The electromagnetic microwaves generated during mobile phone calls can damage the lens of the eyeball and disrupt cell communication connections. Continuous mobile phone calls for two hours will definitely damage the lens of the eyeball.

Experts remind: Try to limit call time to within half an hour, especially for couples in love.

Bones - Mobile phone radiation may lead to osteoporosis

Mobile phone electromagnetic fields may reduce bone density and lead to osteoporosis. Researchers invited 150 male mobile phone users who were accustomed to wearing their phones on their belts, used their phones on average 15 hours a day, and had been using them continuously for 6 years. They used dual X-ray bone density detectors to test the bone density of their pelvises. The results showed that the bone density of the iliac wing near the mobile phone slightly decreased, but it did not increase the risk of arthritis.
