Cell Phone Use Study Sees Increased Cancer Risk

Dotnaught writes "Frequent cell phone users face a 50% greater risk of developing tumors in the salivary glands than those who don't use cell phones, according to a recently published study. The study, led by Tel Aviv University epidemiologist Dr. Siegal Sadetzki, appeared last December in the American Journal of Epidemiology 'Sadetzki's findings are sure to add to confusion surrounding the already contentious debate about the health effects of cell phone radiation. Many other studies in recent years have found no increased risk of cancer due to mobile phone use, but a few have stopped short of ruling the possibility out and a few have said increased risk of cancer is small but real.'. Even with the increased risk, however, you're still about three times more likely to die in a car crash in a given year."

    Seems like you weren't very good at either.

    The cyclist, pedestrian, or other car who is hit by a car had no choice in the matter.

    Given the number of cyclists and pedestrians that cross whenever they want, where ever they want, I beg to disagree.
