Solve : Doctor Suggests Cell Phones May Be Riskier Than Cigarettes? |
|
Answer» Interesting STORY although STILL debatable and no this doesn't appear to be an April fools joke. The danger of developing a brain tumor from extended mobile phone use is greater than the risk presented by smoking, an Australian doctor has CONCLUDED. Neurosurgeon Vini G. Khurana reached his conclusion by reviewing other studies into the connection between mobile phones and cancer. Link It's been a concern for a while...I don't know what to think...talked to one area cell dealer who I know had a legitimate career in radio and walkie-talkie repair before he started celling cell phones. His opinion was that cell phones don't put out nearly the wattage that portable radios do, so he was not too concerned... It may indeed be a function of duration over time, though...I agree I'm still undecided about what to think since there are so many articles that contradict each other. However, still an interesting read. I still don't think it would be that good either to have one of those bluetooth headset ear pieces in your ear all day though. I see people wearing those for 8+ hours and I could see how that could be good. Going to create a poll in Other that discusses this topic. Because I'm curious if people would stop using cell phones if they were found to be bad for your health and/or without a doubt cause brain tumors or cancer. Update: Poll createdI remember reading a story a long time ago where a police officer supposedly contracted some type of cancer in his head due to holding the radar gun so close to his face (thats what the lawyers claimed anyway.) It's been a while so I don't have links or exact information but I think it was debunked due to inconclusiveness - He could have gotten the cancer from his great grandfather. Sounds like the cell phone thing is a reincarnation of that story. People do naturally get ill...... That's true evilfantasy, which is why I'd assume unless we start having a huge spike in brain related deaths this topic will be debated back and forth.I was gonna buy a Bluetooth headset ('cause I'm such a hep cat! ) because there are times I could use one while I drive, but now I'm rethinking it -- I've seen Bluetooth speakerphone rigs for the car, and my phone itself doesn't do BADLY on speakerphone in the car... Dang! I wanted to be cool, too... (Save yourselves: I know it'll take much more than a Bluetooth headset! ) (It's actually hopeless. )Heh, "hep cat" I think seeing people walking around with these is pretty geeky/nerdy and that's coming from a pretty nerdy/geeky guy. I find it especially funny watching someone with one of these walking down the super market isle talking to what appears themselves.Lol, I almost answered someone the other day in a super market wearing one of those. Luckily they were looking the other way or I would have.When i see people with those i just tell them " Call your Mom...she's worried about you "...this doctor is a joke. there is no foolproof evidence to say either way that mobile phones can or cannot cause health issues. so like admin said this can be debated back and for until such time as something is proven. but to say that they may be riskier than cigarettes is RIDICULOUS. cigarettes cause how many thousands of needless deaths every year? if mobile phones were potentially more dangerous than this im certain a link would have been proven well before now that they were a major cause. |
