Title: Mobile phone health concerns - again! Post by: wolfluecker on March 31, 2008, 12:48:48 PM The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/mobile-phones-more-dangerous-than-smoking-802602.html) is reporting rather alarming new research findings of a highly-decorated Australian brain surgeon. He claims that there is recent evidence pointing to higher risk of brain tumours in long-term mobile users.
Of course the Independent are ever so responsible journalists by using the headline "Mobile phones more dangerous than smoking", considering that his research data hasn't even been published anywhere yet, but my worries about phone radiation (we're not talking WiFi, I hasten to add) are not going away in a hurry... :-\ Wolf.

Poor old Geoffrey Lean, as The Independents Environment Editor he's always got a story about the ill's of modern technology on our environment. Just try googling "geoffrey lean mobile phones (http://www.google.com/search?en&q=geoffrey%20lean%20mobile%20phones&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)" for headlines such as: "The Hidden Menace of Mobile Phones" "Are mobile phones wiping out our bees?" "The Curse of the Mobile Phone Age: Electronic Smog" "Mobile Phones = Premature Senility?" "A Swedish study links mobile phones to brain damage" "Mobile phone radiation wrecks your sleep" (http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/uploads/disney-chicken-little-sky-falling.jpg) |
