EU Study: Cell Phones Damage DNA

The radio waves from mobile phones harm body cells and damage DNA according to findings by a study commissioned by the European Union. The study was conducted by 12 groups in seven countries across Europe, but was inconclusive as to whether or not mobile phones are dangerous to human health.

DNA subjected to radio waves showed signs of damage that cells could not repair on their own. In addition, "there was remaining damage for future generation of cells," said project leader Franz Adlkofer, meaning the cells were mutating. None of the world's top six mobile phone vendors could immediately respond to the results of the study.
