This news comes after studies showing that exposure to a transmitting phone pressed against your ear for 50 minutes causes increased brain glucose and activity in the areas closest to the device. The form of radiation emitted from these devices is referred to as non-ionizing, which is similar to that of a low-powered microwave oven as opposed to an X-ray.
