The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

This paper addressed the following question: is there evidence for an association between long-term cell (mobile) phone usage and the risk of developing a brain tumor?

The researchers found 11 studies in which statistics were available where users had being using their phones for a minimum of 10 years

The study found that cell (mobile) phone use approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same ("ipsilateral") side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use.
