Cell Phones Linked To Brain Cancer?

This is an interesting article...

Scientists debate possible cell phone link to brain cancer - CNN.com

It's basically saying that the radiation that comes from cell phones can give you brain cancer. In other words you are much more likely to get brain cancer if you use a cell phone all the time. If yo8u do get cancer it will likely be on the side of the brain that you hold the phone to normally.

And even if they aren't right, there's no reason to take any chances

And the risk for kids (people under 20) is more than 5 times as likely to develop brain cancer than if they wouldn't use a phone.

I don't even know why so many people under 20 need phones...

Any thoughts on this?



"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

Everything in moderation. Heck, if I eat liver all the time, I'll probably get gout. It's great for a meal, however if you eat it all the time and you don't have any variety then you could get this disease. Moderation with food, and moderation with cellphones.

Don't you have a cell phone?

Everything gives you cancer these days. What are you supposed to do, not use a cell phone anymore?

I wouldn't be able to live without my phone! I don't usually call with it, I just text.

No... What gave you that idea?

I don't need one, I'm pretty much proof that nobody my age NEEDS a phone.

Maybe the fact that you've posted from a cell phone to keep your posting spree going.
