An Update of the “UK Million women study” was published by researchers from Oxford at the “Journal of the National Cancer Institute”. It claims to prove again that cell phones do not cause cancer, but proves to be not relevant to today’s world or to today normal user.
The conclusion of the study, as appears in the abstract is :
Our findings support the accumulating evidence that cellular telephone use under usual conditions does not increase brain tumor incidence.
A deeper look inside the data, in the first table, exposure the main flow in the study:
- The “heavy users” group consisted of women who talked max of 45 minutes a week on their cell phone ( average was 20 minutes/week, lowest was 10 minutes/week), for 10 years. This is very low usage.
- Only about half of the wemen that took part in the original study took part in the follow up.
In addition, it seems that Subjects were not asked about their cordless phone (which emits the same radiation and that was very popular in the years of the study) usage.
