****Study linked decreased survival of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients with long-term use of mobile and cordless phones

****STUDY: Study linked decreased survival of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients with long-term use of mobile and cordless phones

In this study, scientists from Sweden have analyzed the association between use of mobile and cordless phones and glioma. The survival analysis was conducted with 1678 glioma patients in their case-control studies between 1997–2003 and 2007–2009. They have found elevated hazard ratio (HR) in astrocytoma grade IV, a.k.a. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive, most invasive, deadly type of adult brain cancer. Highest HR was found for cases with first use of wireless phones before the age of 20 years. The least affected group was low-grade astrocytomas. Nevertheless, the scientists have reported increased risk for both low-grade (grade I–II) and high-grade astrocytoma (grade III–IV) associated with use of mobile and cordless phones.

Candy-flavored tobacco

candy flavored tobacco - Cancer Research Simplified
"CANDY-FLAVORED" TOBACCO

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were reports that flavored smoking product are used by 42% of middle-school and high school students who smoke. Some authorities, such as New York City and Providence, RI have passed some restrictions. 

A 2007 World Health Organization (WHO) report states, “In view of the little research that has been conducted on flavoured tobacco, the WHO Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation urges …. health authorities to consider public health initiatives to reduce the marketing and use of flavoured tobacco products.”

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration reports, “Almost 90 percent of adult smokers start smoking as teenagers …. flavored cigarettes are a gateway for many children and young adults to become regular smokers.” 

A study, published in NEJM, in May 2014, led by Professor James F. Pankow, Ph.D. (elected to Prestigious National Academy of Engineering) at the Portland State University, Portland, identified the flavor chemicals and their levels in several brands of candy, Kool-Aid drink mix, and similarly labeled “cherry”, “grape”, “apple”, “peach”, and “berry” tobacco products.
