For those of you who use your bra as a convenient place to store your cell phone, please think again. Several breast cancer surgeons who are concerned about this got together recently and found that young women with no genetic markers for breast cancer had been diagnosed with unusual breast tumors. The only thing they had in common was that they kept their cell phones in their bras. One MRI actually showed the antenna!
If you read the fine print in your cell phone manual it tells you not to hold it directly to your body- if you do, it says you may absorb more than the allowable level of radiation. Considering that our FCC exposure limits do not properly protect us to begin with, this is quite alarming.
Please spread the word during breast cancer awareness month- and this goes for men too- do not keep your cell phone in your bra or your breast pocket. Thanks!
