Cell Phones And Your Bones
“New Study Indicates Cell Phones Can Make Your Bones Weak!”
A study published in a recent issue of the Journal of Craniofascial Surgery suggests that the electromagnetic radiation ( EMR ) emitted from cell phones may adversely affect bone strength.
The study conducted by Dr. Fernando Sravi at the University of Cuyo, Argentina, showed that men who routinely wore their cell phones on their belt on the right side had reduced bone mineral content and reduced bone mineral density of the right hip.

The biggest concern however is because of the rapid increase in cell phone use ( especially in the younger generations ), any effect on bone mineral density could have a profound effect on the osteoporosis rate in our population.
Especially in women who have higher rates of osteoporosis to begin with and children who will have a longer lifetime exposure to cell phone use and the EMR.
I personally have never been a big fan of having a cell phone attached to one’s body and Dr. Sravi’s research study provides another compelling reason why not to.
Thank-you Dr. Sravi!
