Cell phones may cause heart disease, kidney failure New York | December 31, 2008 12:21:31 PM IST
People should stay miles away from mobile phones if they're mindful of their health, for a new study has found that the handsets may lead to heart disease and kidney stones. The European Research Institute for Electronic Components in Bucharest found that cell phones emit radiation, which causes red blood cells to leak hemoglobin, according to Softpedia.com. Then, the hemoglobin then accumulates in the body that could lead to health complications including heart disease or kidney stones. Sweden's Lund University researchers found that exposure to cell phone radiation could cause proteins and toxins to leak into the brain, according to Softpedia.com. This can lead to Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's, reports the New York Daily News. Also, Softpedia.com has said that the Federation of the Electronics Industry claims that there is no conclusive proof that cell phones are a health hazard. (ANI)
