Cell Phone/Tumor Connection Still On Hold

Cell phones and brain tumors, continued: “The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer study called INTERPHONE found most cellphone use didn’t increase the risk of developing meningioma — a common and frequently benign tumour — or glioma — a rarer but deadlier form of cancer.” That’s the result of a decade-long study that tracked nearly 13,000 people. But-and you knew this was coming-”The tired refrain ‘more research is needed’ fully applies in this instance: without more research the public’s question about the acceptability of cancer risk from mobile phones will remain unanswered.” Also, this study did not track the effects of having a cell phone in your pocket, which, as someone who values his testicles far more than his brain, is really the area of main concern in research such as this. I guess I’ll wait the 20 years and see what the deal is then. If I survive.
