Swedish Study Finds Cell Phone Cancer Risk
dtjohnson writes "A new Swedish
study has
found that heavy users of cell phones had a 240 percent increase in
brain tumors on the side of their head that the phone was used
on. The study defined 'heavy' use as more than 2,000 total hours,
or approximately one hour of use per workday for 10 years. An
earlier British
study was previously discussed
here that didn't find an increased risk, although that study
covered fewer subjects and only followed one type of brain tumor for a
shorter period of time. Or course, the biggest epidemiological
study of all is the one we are all participating in whenever we use our
cell phone. The results from that study won't be available for a
while."
Mobile companies have a conflict of interest, they MAKE MONEY from the MOBILE PHONE SERVICES so it is NOT in their best interest to admit to Cancer. If you look anywhere you can make up a story to be pro or against the cause. You ask for stastics, you can manipulate them anyway you want again to be pro and against. Go troll somewhere else.
