Cell phones MORE dangerous than smoking!!!

[Flyingstar]

Has anyone else seen the article in the LA times from a well respected Brain doctor stating that cell phone use (with the handset held against your head) causes cancer/brain toumers (sp) in about ten years. (less for children)?? Of course cellphone companys deny any truth to this....

Just because he operates on brains does not mean he can know where cancers are coming from. I don't buy it. Maybe after a bunch of research. As for now, iPhone all the way.

if that true then we're all screwed unless you live ontop of a mountain. we are constantly surrounded by all sorts of radio wave for example phones, satelite tv and radio just to mention a few.

come on you are over symplifing this. He doesn't just operate on brains, he is a world renound brain Scientist! he has been studing the effects of cellphone radiation on the brain for years!

I remember these reports years ago saying that anyone that had a cellphone in the 90s would be dead by the year 2000. I don't buy into it at all. Everything is dangerous for you these days, so why limit yourself to solitary confinement in a sterile room?

I don't need to read this article to understand its message: radiation of any variety and in any quantity has an unpredictable impact on the human body. Lower doses over longer exposure periods have less impact than larger doses given over shorter periods are more troubling.

Cell phone radiation could reduce life expectancy. Bottom line. But, as a nuclear engineer, trained to understand and prevent unsafe exposures to radiation, I won't keep that risk from letting me enjoy life to the fullest. I live with a greater risk of death by violent dismemberment from my fellow DC drivers who think the Capital Beltway is the Daytona 500.

Nicely put. Visited DC / Reston, Va. few years back - that traffic is BRUTAL.

Well, damn, and I thought all the bluetooth users were doomed.

I could so see this turning into one of those plague the human race is dead movies. Maybe something like a zombie movie but everyone but a small group of people have glowing heads of radiation and if they bite you....

Just another nut.
