Exclamation iPhone is one of the most dangerous phones for your health?

So I've been to a few health seminars with my mom recently, and one of the doctor's was really stressing the subject of electromagnetic interference and its longterm effects on the body. Well, one particular research group has gone so far as to claim the iPhone to be one of the most dangerous phones of today. Check this out:

http://products.mercola.com/blue-tube-headset/


I understand that the Specific Absorption Rates (SAR levels) for the iPhone are as follows, with the maximum rating set by the FCC to be 1.6W/kg

*iPhone*: 0.974

*iPhone 3G*: 1.388

*iPhone 3G S*: 1.19

http://www.sarshield.com/english/radiationchart.htm


Is Mercola's advertising for the BlueTube just a bunch of BS (because the marketing seems very superficial) or will I be fine talking on the iPhone 3G S over speakerphone (which I do 90% of the time on the 3G already)? My mom has gone paranoid over the entire topic of EMI exposure and brain tumors. That said, I'm interested in your replies, thanks in advance.

I'm not very keen on the subject but I have heard that cell phones in general have added to the risk of testicular cancer in men because a lot of men carry their phone in their pocket. With that being said, I suppose it is plausible.

I lost my hair and my first few wives. But my testicular still works. Sorry Freak39 but I find it hard to worry about this. Maybe it's an age thing, eh?
