Long-term mobile phone use health risk to be studied again

Three things about mobile phones we can count on:

1. Cellular phone use will continue to increase.

2. There will be at least one cell phone health scare from the UK every year.

3. There will be follow-up studies saying there is no health danger to mobile phone users.

This time it’s scientists from Imperial College in London who worry that long-term mobile phone use can lead to a number of health problems. Now they are worried about more than just brain tumors and brain cancer.

Their latest proposed study will test if cell phone use can lead to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Previous studies have shown that people exposed to mobile phones for more than a decade have a two-fold risk of developing brain cancer on the side of the head where they held the handset.

After a few on-again off-again mobile phone health scares, are users paying attention anymore? Have scientists cried wolf too many times?
