Why You Should Not Put Your Cell Phone In Your Back Pocket Or Bra.....

MOST people these days are practically glued to their smartphone - and would find it very difficult to give it up.

But Dr. Devra Davis, an American scientist who has been studying the effects of mobile phone radiation for many years, has warned that your mobile phone could be doing you more harm than good.

In a talk at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, she said: "The pattern of putting cellphones in the bra, and now there's a new device where you can actually have the phone strapped to your head, made me concerned about what we know about exposure to phones."


Dr. Devra says that mobile phone-like radiation is being used positively in the medical field to treat liver cancer, detect cancer and enhance the absorption of drugs in the brain.

But the reason it is able to do this is because the radiation breaks down the blood brain barrier, which prevents the brain from foreign substances that may injure it.

The radiation can also damage DNA, affect male fertility and change the brain's metabolism.

And that's not all - researchers have also found that mobile phone use can contribute to the development of depression, diabetes and heart irregularities. 

Dr. Devra also speaks of a specific case where a young woman developed breast tumours exactly the same shape as the mobile phone she'd been tucking into her bra.

And it's not just your bra that you shouldn't be putting your phone into - even storing it in your pocket could be dangerous.

In fact, Dr. Devra reveals that the small print in your iPhone manual explicitly advises against this - while a study showed that doing so can weaken the pelvic area nad reduce bone density.

So, maybe it's time to break things off with your smartphone - or at least start keeping it in your bag.
