FYI. People may recall that one of the scientists who initially raised the concerns about the links between cell phones and cancer died under mysterious conditions, after which the project was quietly dropped. Many billions of profit dollars and advertising later, the link continues to persist.
I found this sentence amusing: “Cellphones may cause brain tumors but they kill far more people through automobile accidents,” he said. Not mentioned is that use of these devices will driving causes many of these crashes (not "accidents"). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: The Washington Post <[email protected]> Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 11:55 AM Subject: Breaking News: Cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to human's, agency says To: [email protected] ---------------------------------------- Breaking News Alert: Cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to human's, agency says May 31, 2011 12:50:26 PM ---------------------------------------- An international panel of experts says cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to humans after reviewing details from dozens of published studies. The statement was issued in Lyon, France, on Tuesday by the International Agency for Research on Cancer after a weeklong meeting of experts. They reviewed possible links between cancer and the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cellphones, microwaves and radar. The agency is the cancer arm of the World Health Organization and the assessment now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cellphone use. The group classified cellphones in category 2B, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Other substances in that category include the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/ZTVJ68/26Z2I0/LNLNO/J04WR2/VYGOL/SN/h -- "The system filters out the thoughtful and replaces them with the faithful." --quoted in John Dower, *Cultures of War*
