Which issue was that? I'd like to read the article.


December 2004, page 20: "Cellphones Linked To Brain Tumors"
"No tumors were associated with less than 10 years of
cellphone use." There will be about 50 million people with
10 years of cellphone use in 1907. I won't be one of them.

Thanks. Here's what the article really said:

"Researchers at the Karolinska Institute of Environmental Medicine, in
Stockholm, Sweden, have found an association between long-term cellphone
use and a rare, benign tumor, causing concern among radiation
specialists and epidemiologists, though they emphasize that the results
haven't been replicated yet. Scientists now eagerly await results from
other studies under way around the world.

Just curious, did the study take into account putting vinyl phone
cases against skin, being warmed up & subsequently out-gassing
carcinogens that were then absorbed through the skin & into the blood
stream???

p.s.- Just what are "double the odds" for this "rare" cancer? Any
chance they're within the statistical noise floor?? EMWtK.
