cell phone use "possibly carcinogenic"
 
Quote:

(Reuters) - Using a mobile phone may increase the risk of certain types of brain cancer in humans and consumers should consider ways of reducing their exposure, World Health Organisation WHO.L cancer experts said on Tuesday.

A working group of 31 scientists from 14 countries meeting at the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer IARC.L said a review of all the available scientific evidence suggested cell phone use should be classified as "possibly carcinogenic".

That classification could prompt the United Nations health body to look again at its guidelines on mobile phones, the IARC scientists said, but more research is needed before a more definitive answer on any link can be given.

The WHO had previously said there was no established evidence for a link between cell phone use and cancer. (Reporting by Kate Kelland, editing by Mark Heinrich)

Several different sources have said that cell phones close to the ear may be damaging. I heard such things before. Perhaps there is not enough evidence to prove it. Good luck using your cell phone safely.

Life itself is possibly carcinogenic ...

When I first started using a cell in the late 1990s read about this in a book published by a scientist who discovered how dangerous the radiation from a cellphone was........and how the industry fucked with his career.

I always hold the phone away from me, use speaker, and try not to talk for too long on it.

My advice for kids going to college. Study brain surgery.

Same here.

I also do not carry the phone in my crotch pocket, or on a clip attached to my hip. I use my cell primary when I travel, including locally where it sits in my drink tray. I use it sparingly around the house. But I do not stay on it for long period, and even then, I use a blue tooth.

I've been using an wired earpiece (not even blue tooth) for years...especially if I'm on the phone for anything more than a 1 minute call.

that only changes if your source changes... eggs are healthy in every way and always have been with real studies... scare up scientists trying to make a name for themselves are almost always wrong when it comes to food...

cell phone thing is overstated too.. even says in the article that there is no direct correlation with it being linked to cancer and that no warnings are going out at this time.

How many people we know who are on cell phones all day? Lots. How many people we know with brain tumors? almost none. coincidence?

doesn't mean we stop testing, but becoming an alarmist is a tiring hobby...
