Cell Phone Radiation May Cause Kidney Damage and Heart Failure

A recent study performed by the European Research Institute for Electronic Components out of Bucharest, Romania has shown that exposure to cell phone radiation causes red blood cells to leak hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin transports oxygen through the body. When it accumulates in the blood, it can cause heart disease and kidney stones to develop.

Scientists discovered that when blood is exposed to microwave radiation, at even lower levels than those produced by cell phones, those blood cells will leak hemoglobin.

Similarly, scientists in Sweden have determined that as little as two minutes of exposure to cell phone radiation can disable a safety barrier in the blood which allows toxins and proteins to leak into the brain.

Numerous studies exist showing the dangers of radio frequencies emitted by mobile phones. Some countries are taking action, issuing warnings about cell phone use.

In France, new legislation will make marketing cell phones to children under 12 illegal.
