Hi there, Moms!

I’ve got a few more tidbits for you regarding cell phones. According to the article “When Bad News Is No News” By M. Fosburg, which challenges the American Press for not printing research that causes concern regarding cell phones:

“…studies show that using a cell phone for more than ten years leads to higher rates of two different kinds of tumors: gliomas, a type of brain tumor, and acoustic neuromas, a tumor of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. In each case, the tumors were more likely to be on the side of the head closest to the phone.”

“To be sure, these are still preliminary findings,” Slesin acknowledged, but he didn’t think it made sense to ignore them. In his view skeptics who assert that “the worst microwaves can do is heat you up, and even then only at power levels much higher than you could ever get from a cell phone” not only “abound” but dominate the debate in this country. “The heating-only advocates, many of whom have links to industry, are in control even though laboratory research has shown that microwave radiation can damage DNA, upset sleep patterns, alter cognitive function, increase the flow of chemicals through the blood-brain barrier and bring on headaches.”

You can get the whole article here though you may need a membership (which is free) to read it.

And you might want to limit how long the calls are on your cell phone while we’re waiting for the final results.
