How Cell Phone Radiation Affect your cells  

Radiation from cell phones is too weak to heat biological tissue or break chemical bonds in cells, but the radio waves they emit may still change cell behavior.

Scientists exposed 10 female volunteers to radiation at 900 megahertz from GSM phones to simulate an hour long phone call. T

hey screened 580 different proteins in their skin cells and found that the numbers of two proteins were altered in all of the five volunteers; one protein increased by 89 percent, the other decreased by 32 percent.

Cellular Phones Linked to Cellular DNA Damage  

Over 1.5 billion people around the world use a cellular phone; however, chances are most of these users are unaware of the damage they may be doing to their bodies. According to a four-year research project focused on studying the effect of radiation on human and animal cells, researchers found that the radio waves emitted from a cell phone may harm body cells and damage DNA in laboratory conditions. Although the study did not prove that mobile phones are a risk to one’s health, it did indicate that cells exposed to electromagnetic fields, similar to those of mobile phones, showed a significant increase in single and double-strand DNA breaks.
