Research from Tel Aviv University in Israel showed considerable oxidative stress in the saliva of heavy mobile phone users compared to deaf users’ saliva who obviously used their phones exclusively for texting. Dr Yaniv Hamzany noted that oxidative stress, caused by radiation from the phone, is linked to cell mutations, which could lead to the development of cancerous tumours.   So use a landline or text and only talk on your mobile, if necessary, for very short periods. The damage risk to young people is even greater so limit mobile use even more for under 18s (if you can!).   (Antioxid RedoxSignal;2013;18:622-7) ### Michelle Toocaram [View all posts](https://try.hapana.com/community/author/michelle-toocaram) #### You may also like [![5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet (Clone)](https://try.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Onefitstop-April2018/Images/carrots-article-1160x500.png?width=450&name=carrots-article-1160x500.png)](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet-0) [Lifestyle](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/lifestyle), [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness), [Health](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) [5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet (Clone)](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet-0) [![5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet (Clone) (Clone)](https://try.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/landing-home.jpg?width=450&name=landing-home.jpg)](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet-0-0) [Lifestyle](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/lifestyle), [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness), [Health](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) [5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet (Clone) (Clone)](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet-0-0) [![5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet](https://try.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Onefitstop-April2018/Images/carrots-article-1160x500.png?width=450&name=carrots-article-1160x500.png)](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet) [Lifestyle](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/lifestyle), [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness), [Health](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) [5 Reasons Why You Need More Vitamin A in Your Diet](https://try.hapana.com/community/5-reasons-why-you-need-more-vitamin-a-in-your-diet) [Health](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) [Top Tips To Naturally And Frugally Heal Rheumatoid Arthritis](https://try.hapana.com/community/top-tips-naturally-frugally-heal-rheumatoid-arthritis) ### CATEGORIES - [Fitness (70)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) - [Blog (56)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog) - [Health (49)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/health) - [Lifestyle (16)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/lifestyle) - [fitness studio (5)](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-studio) ### Popular Articles [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [Biodynamic Workout: 3 Day Split Program Template](https://try.hapana.com/community/biodynamic-workout-3-day-split-program-template) [yoga studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/yoga-studio), [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [yoga instructors](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/yoga-instructors) [10 Tips on Hiring the Right Team for your Yoga Studio](https://try.hapana.com/community/10-tips-on-hiring-the-right-team-for-your-yoga-studio) [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [How to motivate yourself and others to exercise](https://try.hapana.com/community/motivate-others-exercise) [![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://try.hapana.com/community/check-5-hip-home-gyms) [Fitness](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness) [Check It Out: 5 Hip Home Gyms](https://try.hapana.com/community/check-5-hip-home-gyms) [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/blog), [business marketing](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/business-marketing), [fitness studios](https://try.hapana.com/community/tag/fitness-studios) [Business Marketing and Branding Tips for Pilates and Yoga Studios](https://try.hapana.com/community/business-marketing-and-branding-tips-for-pilates-and-yoga-studios) - Products - Tour - Solutions - Community - [Blog](https://try.hapana.com/community/blog) - Company - [Press](https://try.hapana.com/company/press) #### Contact - Support Center - ##### UNITED STATES +1 866-512-5157 ##### AUSTRALIA +61 2 8520 3901 ##### UNITED KINGDOM +44 20 3868 2888 - [ABOUT SSL CERTIFICATES](http://www.symantec.com/ssl-certificates) - [Privacy Policy](https://try.hapana.com/privacypolicy) - [Terms Of Use](https://try.hapana.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Sitemap](https://try.hapana.com/sitemap) - - - - - [OneFitStop](https://try.hapana.com/) 2017
