Those who are below 20 and are addicted to their mobile phone, beware, you are inviting deadly deices.
According to a research conducted by Swedish Scientists, mobile use substantially raises the risk of brain cancer in children.
Researchers in Sweden have carried out the study and found that kids are five times more likely to get brain cancer later in life if they use mobile phones, a leading British daily reported.
According to them, kids are more at risk because their brains and nervous systems are still developing and as their heads are smaller and their skulls are thinner, the radiation penetrates deeper into their brains.
"People who started mobile phone use before the age of 20 have more than five-fold increase in glioma -- a cancer of the glial cells that support the central nervous system," lead researcher Lennart Hardell of University Hospital Orebro said.
