Same interesting questions concerning the use of cell phones and brain tumors. We may want to rethink how we use our cell phones. I wonder if the stats for women are higher?

I'm more concerned about the subliminal mass hypnosis being conducted by the Wibble People.

I'm fairly certain Sanjay Gupta is a quack.

It would not entirely surprise me to find that here was some risk - but greater than asbestos and smoking?
The fact that following this link threw up three newsmax adverts did not make feel like they are a trustworthy bunch.

Even if your risk of brain tumor only goes up 10%, can you imagine how many people that would effect? Seems like people should at least use the earpiece, because what is the harm in playing it smart?

Do you think the person who wrote that is related to L. Ron Hubbard? They share the same family name after all.

No, because I don't know what the chance of having a brain tumour is.

Then imagine that it starts at zero. Then goes up 10%.

There is no risk from using a cell phone.
Its all a bunch of bunk..........typical actually.
I happen to be a Field Tech for a major cellular carrier. The amount of power generated by the phone is negligible.
The antennas on the tower are pushing all the power, around 100Watts (at 1.8GHz)even then as long as you're not directly in front of the antennas for a prolonged period of time, you're fine.
