(Mirror) – It’s something that’s been widely debated for years, and now scientists have ‘clear evidence’ that phone radiation causes cancer – at least in rats.

The radiation exposure was intermittent – 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off, for 9 hours a day. The researchers found that male rats developed tumors in the heart and brain. READ MORE
