“using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer”
But what is the risk of brain cancer? The National Cancer Institute site says between 1990 and 2002 there were 6.4 deaths for every 100,000 people, or 0.0064%. Wow, I think I’ll take my chances!
Well, at the risk of contributing to a new hysteria to replace Global Warming…
I’d be very surprised if cell phones and increased radio waves in general didn’t have some effect on us. It is not a matter of dispute that cells are affected by electromagnetism. That’s why I would rather limit my cell phone use.
That said, the world is fraught with real dangers. I doubt that Tibetan monks, for example, are terribly worried about cell phone hazards these days.

“If you are smokin’ after sex – you are doin’ it too fast”
