Cell Phones With Lowest Radiation (SAR) Rate
Today the answer to the question 'do cell phones increase the risk of brain cancer' ranks up with the one 'is there any form of life in Universe'. There are still no clear studies that can prove the effect of cell phone on human brain as well as any clear study to prove the contrary.
What we still know is that:
- we should not expose to a potential danger our children;
- cell phones do emit radiation; and
- we still can't cast them away – we need them!
The only way to settle the matter is to choose cell phones with the lowest SAR rate and also use speakerphones or Bluetooth headsets.
