This Device is GIVING You Thyroid Cancer?!

The mainstream is nowhere near winning the war on cancer.
Despite the billions they spend on research… and the new drugs they crank out every year… cancer is STILL a harsh reality for millions of Americans.
And the worst part? We’re doing it to ourselves.
Most cancer s are caused by environmental factors like what we eat and what we surround ourselves with.
Thyroid cancer is a prime example. Cases are increasing–and the age people are getting it is decreasing.
And it’s all because of a device most people use every single day.
A new study, led by Yale School of Public Health and published in the Journal Environmental Research, finds a direct link between cell phone use and thyroid cancer.
For the study, researchers examined over 900 people and found that people with specific genetic variations were significantly more likely to develop cancer in their thyroid if they reported heavy cell phone use.
And we are talking about a BIG increased risk…
These folks were TWICE as likely to develop cancer than those who don’t use cell phones.
This cell phone/thyroid cancer is a classic environment interacting with genetics.
We’ve all seen a smoker who drinks heavily and yet live to be 100 years old because they have strong genes. But the opposite is also true: someone with other genes will die early – even though they shun cigarettes and alcohol.
The findings in this study suggest genetic susceptibilities play an important role in the risk of developing thyroid cancer for cell phone users.
And here’s the real risk… you’ll likely never know if you have the genetic markers that make you more susceptible.
So your best bet is to avoid cell phone contact as much as possible.
Use the speaker when talking on the phone or use wired headphones. While neither of these are a guarantee, they keep the phone farther away from your thyroid gland.
