Your smartphone just weaken your bones

Argentine researchers conducted a study concluding that cell phone signals reduced bone mineral density of people using them frequently, undermining the most exposed to the phone. Research has measured the bone mineral density of 24 men not using mobile phones and other 24 smarpthones wearing their belt, on the right side.

After a year, scientists have noticed that the subjects had a cell phone with bone density at femoral neck right below the left side. A systematic difference which was not present in subjects without wireless device. The differences were not dramatic, but still visible and seems to prove the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves but limited to the body, especially bones.

This study could be especially useful in women who have a greater risk of osteoporosis and their children who are more sensitive to these wavelengths than adults. It is nevertheless a first step in understanding the actual effects on the bones of this type of device.
