What you need to know about that big study on cell phones and cancer

[pbmus]

The kind of radiation emitted by cell phones increases the risk of heart cancer in mice, according to an NIH-funded report released today. But don't ditch your phones just yet: despite numerous studies, there's still no strong evidence cell phones cause cancer in humans.

Be smart: These rats were exposed to high levels of radiation over their entire bodies. This is not how humans are exposed to cell phone radiation. When asked in a press conference if he intends to change his cell phone use, or tell his children to do so, study author John Bucher said, unequivocally, "no."

The details: This is the most thorough animal study on cell phones and cancer to date.

Researchers exposed both mice and rats to varying amounts of radiation. They were exposed in 10-minute increments (10 on, 10 off) for 9 total hours of exposure each day.
Exposure started before they were born, and continued for two years.

The wavelengths were equivalent to 2g and 3g connections, which were common at the time the study was started. )Today, phones still use 2g and 3g wavelengths when making calls, but not when using data.)

1. The results were inconclusive and contradictory in spite of the use of far higher doses of

radiation than phone users are exposed to in the real world. Looks like cell phones are safe.
