FDA Questions Swedish Cell Phone Cancer Study

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-you-hear-me-now dept.

ZZeta writes "Following up on the Swedish study on cell phone cancer risk, the FDA released a statement today questioning its reliability. From the statement: 'These facts along with the lack of an established mechanism of action and supporting animal data makes the Hardell et al's finding difficult to interpret.' Also available several links to other studies."

    I hadn't heard of this study or anything.

    If you only read the /. summary you can't actually TELL if the study confirmed risks or denied risks, only that the FDA didn't agree with the study.

    Did anyone here think that the "Study" may have stated that the risks are minimal, and the FDA was saying "Hey, wait a minute, that's not a very accurate study! There may significantly more risk".

    The fact that no reasonable, informed person could have expected that the FDA might have actually been trying to actually "Protect" us instead of corporate interests is a little disturbing to me.
