Study: Cell Phones Could Be More Dangerous Than Cigarettes Monday, March 31, 2008

A study by an award-winning cancer expert shows that cell phone use could kill more people than smoking, it is reported.

According to the U.K.'s Independent newspaper, the study, headed by Dr. Vini Khurana, shows that there is a growing body of evidence that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer.

Khurana  one of the world's top neurosurgeons  based his assessment on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide. That is three times higher than people who smoke. Smoking kills some five million globally each year.

He warned that people should avoid using handsets whenever possible and called on the phone industry to make them safer. France and Germany have already warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children, it is reported.

The study is said to be the most damning indictment of cell phone use. According to the Independent, cancers take at least 10 years to develop, which has influenced earlier cancer studies showing relative safety when using cell phones.

Wow -- that's scary! I have a daughter who got cancer at 17, guess where -- under her right ear! I did a ton of research on it and couldn't find any that says they are the cause, but I have my suspicions. She's fine for now, but I still wonder... I also have a cell phone, but everyone I know knows not to call me on it because it is usually off.

Wow.
I dont have a cell phone,and this makes me think twice.
Maybe always use one with a mic,so its not right near your head?

Has anyone read the "100 year lie"? It really open your eyes to the toxic environment we live in. Every step of our dailty life has a toxic chemical playing it's part.

Cell phones are dangerous we all know that, but they cannot pop poporn. This is a hoax and a really good one. It was on good morning america and they did it, but the popcorn did not pop.

Cell phones also play a huge role in the big dieoff of bats, bees, and birds.

Humans are really doing something awful, playing with all this electromagnetic radiation. Large populations of whales have also beached themselves near the HAARP project in Alaska.

Soaring rates of brain/eye cancer associated with cell phone use is just the tip of the iceberg. People keep them for "safety," but even the modern world got on quite well without them for decades. And what other things are being put at risk for "safety" ?

Ha! This just came in an e-newsletter:

If it IS a hoax why are there so many different Utube videos with cell phones poping popcorn?


I just got rid of my landline a few months ago, I've been mostly using the speaker on my phone though.

That mercola article was great. It mentioned air-tube earpeices, they are wireless (so they don't act like an antenna) and work like a doctor's stethecope.

These guys seem to be selling them but they don't list a price.

You can find out how much radiation your cell phone emits here [reviews.cnet.com]

I HATE cell phones. They drive me up a wall, and that is one reason why they are truly hazardous to my health. I think they are so frigging intrusive. I don't want to have to hear people's conversations all the time at work when they are supposed to be working and while I am shopping.

And personally I do not want to be lugging a ball and chain around all the time. That's what they are to me. I want my freedom.

I really wish they didn't exist.

<<If it IS a hoax why are there so many different Utube videos with cell phones poping popcorn? >>

because cell phones emit frequency higher than microwaves so it can pop popcorn

i wan't someone to contest this cuz i don't wanna believe that everyone is microwaving their brains

It's definitely a hoax. Mobile phones are rated around 2 watts peak, 0.5 watts average for typical use. Microwaves are rated around 600-1000 watts. In real life you might raise the temp of the egg a degree or two, with cell phones, but certainly not enough to cook it. Or your brain, which is what most people are more concerned about.

There is a more thorough discussion here.

I think they put some type of heat source under the table, but who knows.

Yes, it's a hoax, not possible to do that with normal cell phones under normal conditions.

I use a cell phone almost exclusively and use (wired) headphones pretty much all of the time when I speak on my phone to avoid higher doses of radiation getting near my head.

There's quite a few long term studies surfacing lately on the damage from cell/wireless phone radiation which is important to be aware of.

It just floors me still when I go into the city everyone is talking on a cell.
What can they be all talking about??? Mabey they are Famous and I just dont know who they are. after all when they first came out if you had one you were important or famous. yes 37,456 hrs on the celly and I got the tummies
I think its a 15 minutes of fame problem. they are a killer on the road you know it I know it and may be a killer any where after a few calls. I was in jail and they had a pay phone in the cell that us low life could use, Now that was a cell phone Its your tumor good luck
