Gee…you mean it might actually be a bad idea to hold a radio transmitter up against your head for hours on end?? A transmitter operating at near microwave oven frequencies? Man…. who would have seen that one coming?!? :shocked:
I’ve long said that cell phones will one day be viewed in much the same way as cigarettes are viewed now. A legal product that causes serious long-term health problems for its users. :nope:
Report: WHO to Announce Cell Phone, Brain Tumor LinkA groundbreaking, $30 million study into cell phones has found a link between long term use and brain tumors.
Smokin' hot Japanese girl commits slow seppuku.The World Health Organization is about to reveal that its decade-long investigation has found the devices can lead to cancer — and the internationally-respected body will soon issue a public health message with its findings, London’s Daily Telegraph reported today.
The conclusion goes against years of assurances by cell phone companies and scientists that cell phone use is safe.
But last month, Sen. Arlen Specter, D- Pa., organized Senate hearings to examine health implications of talking on-the-go.
The WHO’s Interphone investigation’s results showed, "a significantly increased risk" of some brain tumors "related to use of mobile phones for a period of ten years or more," the Telegraph reported.
The study’s head, Dr. Elisabeth Cardis, said, "In the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radiofrequency radiation, precautions are important."
