So get your phone away from your pet rat immediately!
And Apple wants to take the cheap headphone jack out of their phones. Just what you would expect.
A number of respected researchers have also questioned the study.
Interestingly, the rats in the control group did not live as long as those exposed to the radiation. This makes the results suspect because it is well known that longevity contributes to the likelihood of cancer (greater age = more cell divisions, roughly speaking.)
Should the headline have been: Use Cell Phones, Live Longer? It easily could have been, based on the outcome of the study. But that doesn't sell newspapers.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Although we need studies like the one referenced by this thread imo, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for such a purpose.
We need to do inventory on the long-negelected Constitution so that such studies can be done within the framework of the Constitution.
I think this calls for legislation. All rats should limit cell phone use to emergency calls only. No more texting for rodents! #ratlivesmatter
Nowadays everyone is into Texting.
I’m looking for an uptick in Fingertip Cancer.
This was AFTER exposing rats to 9 hours of concentrated cell phone radiation for 2 years non stop.
I’m still scared for all the dihydrogen monoxide in the drinking water supply here.
What about cancers in other parts of your body. Like if you wear your cell phone on a clip on the waistband of your pants? It’s not on all that time but is it sending out ‘ whatever’ into your gut?
Any studies on Ear Cancer?
How about Genital Cancer since Men usually carry their Cell Phones in their Pockets?
Women would only have to worry about their $300 Purses succumbing to Cancer.
Trial Lawyers Unite!
EVERYBODY knows the gummint conducts experiments on its employees
As an Amateur Radio enthusiast (read that: HAM RADIO GUY) who builds antenna’s capable of handling thousands of watts of power converted into RF using high dB gain antenna’s, I’d love to see the RF Safety Study that backs the claims that Cellphone’s can cause (brain) cancer.
yea, but you're not supposed to chew on your cellphone.
Joking aside, I do believe that radiation (from all sources, the sun being the biggest) does contribute to the mutations in our cells which leads to cancer. Whether you own a cellphone or not, we're all bombarded by all sorts of radiation all the time... but I wouldn't want to have a high-powered cellphone tower mounted on my roof.
I can just envision the test subject rats in their cages with cell phones strapped to their little heads and constant telemarketer calls directed to them..........LOL!
So obama has given the poor cancer with his obamaphone.
Shouldn’t the terrorists and illegals with free cellphones be dropping.like flies??
government, go fight Islam terror.
Why are “low incidences” of two types of tumors explosive findings? And how often do you put your smart phone up to your ear anymore?
I see HUGE lawsuits in the future going after the giant cash cows like Apple and Samsung.
