Brain Cancer [From cell phones]

[Orangeman13]

now that I have your attention - does anyone give a second thought to the dangers of holding a cell phone up to your brain?

I have a PhD in cellular biology from Syracuse and just want people to remember that research not funded by cell phone companies shows an elevated risk of brain cancer for moderate to heave cell phone usage. Bluetooth is even worse as radiation is going through the ear canal.

Ever read the warnings already coming with your cell phone?

Remember cigarettes were once thought to be safe....

What about hand cancer from just texting and surfing the web?

You are in the wrong place to spread that nonsense.

I barely keep the phone to my ear, I use the speaker so this doesn't really bother ne

Or ball cancer being in our pockets :O

Keeping the phone in your pocket can also give you testicular cancer.

 

[terraphantm]

Show us some of this supposed research

Living leads to dying.... I'm still not going to give it up, well, until I have to

It's fine, at least we won't die alone. If that's true--everyone will have cancer in twenty years!

This is what happened to tabacco users....

...To put this risk ratio into some perspective, just over five people out of 100,000 were diagnosed with malignant brain cancer between 1995 and 2002.

Given that the current consensus is that while mobile phone radiation might be carcinogenic there is no convincing evidence proving that it is, you'd better be able to produce links to peer-reviewed studies in reputable journals supporting that. Alternatively you could stop scaremongering...

No, not concerned:

These studies are funded by Motorola etc. the mere fact that it's being studied in the longitudinal sense should make us all think.

Don't get me wrong. Did I pre-order the iPhone 6s+? Yes. But speakerphone is my friend....

Good thing we all text and rarely talk on the phone

He's a quack, but it doesn't have anything to do with his degree. DOs receive just as much training as MDs

I was diagnosed with a type 3 Malignant Oligodendroglioma in Jan 2014 and had Brain Surgery. It was cancerous and I had a tough year last year with Radio and Chemotherapy. Do I believe I got this from using a mobile phone? No! If you read and actually believe everything that "gives" you cancer then you wouldn't do anything with your life! I continue to use my phone and won't stop doing this just because certain people think it will give me cancer.

 

[Cuniac]

Moral of the story. Use the included iPhone ear buds

 

[doboy]

Everything gives you cancer nowadays. We need to just stop living longer

Hate to hear that. Hope you are doing well now!

I'm very sorry for your diagnosis. However, we do not know what causes cancer - just what increases your risk. If we knew the exact cause we'd be on our way to a cure.

Good info. Personally, I use speakerphone in quiet areas or bluetooth in the car. If I'm away from either of those places I normally text back and forth and say I can't chat at the moment. Mostly because I don't talk on the phone like I used to.
