When you get into the article, pulled in by the inflamatory headline, you find there is no "there" there.
Good Grief... this is what passes for science reporting at BBC News? How the mighty have fallen.
ARTICLE: Experts cautioned that the finding was theoretical and said there was no evidence of a danger to health.
Can the headline editor at BBC News read?
This article has so many holes it could make Swiss cheese jealous!
Ya think???
Mobile phone radiation may damage cells by increasing the forces they exert on each other, scientists have said.
The finding could be the key to claims that mobile phones cause cancer and other health problems.
Experts cautioned that the finding was theoretical and said there was no evidence of a danger to health.
There have been suggestions that mobile phones can cause brain tumours and Alzheimer's disease, but research has been inconclusive.
Bo Sernelius at Linkoping University, Sweden, looked at another possibility by modelling the properties of red blood cells.
If confirmed by experiments, the results could give an exmplanation for tissue damage. Stronger attractive forces between cells might make them clump together or cause blood cells to contract, New Scientist said.
Katie Daniel, deputy editor of the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, said the finding was important. (?)
"It highlights the idea that electromagnetic radiation might act on cells by affecting the attractive forces between them rather than simply causing heat damage to tissue," she said.
But she said the model was extremely simple and may not apply to larger numbers of cells.
"It needs to be tested experimentally," she said. (DUH!!!) Studies had not proved there was any danger to health from mobile phones, he said. .
