cell phone danger (other than driving) introspec: WHO (World Health Organization) has issued a B2 alert: Cell phone use might cause/be related to, cancer.... Brain cell glioma.... Question: How many will ditch cell phone? Can billion dollar industry in cell technology block information? (Similar question was raised circa 35 yrs ago with cordless phones, after experiments with microwaves and rats.....) Might take some heat off of global warming nonsense  StuckInTheSixties: It's amusing to see how introspec manages to slip one of his rants into nearly every single post he makes. introspec: Lipton, they really have.........A B2 alert, whatever the hell that is.... Item was on Medscape a few days ago....... WHO only listed brain CA as a possibility, not a certainty, as in, STS, Global Warming.......LOL..... Am amazed that media have not picked up on this... However, question was, how many would forego usage of cell phone, if probability? introspec: Lipton, more info......... A Lyon, France, group stated there might be link between cellphone radio frequencies, and brain CA IARC (Intl Agency Researh Cancer) has previously categorized linkage same as coffee and pickled vegetables..... Previously, IARC states, no linkage...  motherfingsuperwoman: Disposable cups and plates are also killing us. Anything that makes life easier or is any fun seems to be bad for us. introspec: MFSW, you have to be right........... When will catsup be banned? Heck, salt and pepper will be next....... StuckInTheSixties: Yeah, that bullshit about dioxin! What a scam! Bunch of liberal conspiracy trash! And of course, we all know that tobacco is perfectly harmless! * * sarcasm  Jonnystarbright: There are legitimate concerns regarding mobile phones. This is a website that deals with some issues. http://www.starportuk.com introspec: Question was: IF cellphones cause glioma of brain, in some people, let's say 1.5%, how many would give up cellphones?.... Now, that's a good question..... Think, tobacco smoking/lung CA relationship.......... StuckInTheSixties: That's actually an interesting thought, considering the degree that cell phone use is a part of people's lives. If they KNEW it was harmful, would they be able to give it up?  LiptonCambell: The jist of what I heard why all this cell phone hooey is BS is basically that the signal cells give off are too big to interact with peoples cellular structure, thus causing cancer. And the fact that the UN has said otherwise doesn't mean alot to me....the UN is an incredibly political group  Serabi: Virtually everything causes cancer, oops, sorry, we were wrong! When margarine came onto the market, butter was the substance to avoid! The Heart Foundation endorsed margarine - now margarine must be avoided at all costs and only butter used, even by heart patients with high cholesterol. At one time sugar caused cancer, now it doesn't. High radiation levels could cause a myriad of problems, but then, who are we to say that the person affected would not have had the disease anyway. I believe in MODERATION, in everything and anything.  electrician25hr: ppl know smokin causes cancer do they stop, no . So if they find out cell phones cause cancer will they stop??? |
