The controversy
over whether or not cell phones are safe to use is still going strong.
The links below cover many of the hot issues and will help you to
make an informed decision about cell phone use for yourself.
Cellular Phone Industry
Just as Health-Harming as Big Tobacco?
Learn the amazing parallels between the big tobacco and cell
phone industry and how they both seek to deceive you about the harm
they cause.
Eliminate Your
Cell Phone Radiation With Tiny Iron Beads
A tiny magnetic piece of iron could block "unintentional"
radiation from traveling from your cell phone into your head. Will
the cell phone industry take researchers' advice to make using these
beads with cell phones an industry standard?
Cellular Phones Linked
to Cellular DNA Damage
If you think cell phones are the best invention since sliced bread,
think again. Using a cell phone could permanently damage cells (and
DNA) in your body.
"If Mobile Phones
Were a Type of Food, They Simply Would Not be Licensed"
This statement was not uttered by some uneducated anti-technology
activist, but rather was written by a prominent British physicist
and was printed in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet.
Long-Term Cell Phone
Use Spurs Tumor Growth
Racking up minutes on your mobile phone might leave you with more
than a large bill. Discover how 10 years or more of mobile phone
use could increase your risk of developing a benign tumor on the
auditory nerve.
Cell Phones May Harm
Blood Cells
Studies are showing that radiation given off by cell phones may
be linked to cancer. Discover how experts are researching the possibilities
of the link between cell phone radiation and the increased risk
of cancer.
Study Links Cell
Phones to Brain Cancer Risk
Read about the European study that documented the danger of cell
phones. Practical alternatives are provided.
Cell Phones on
Planes
American Airlines introduced their "relaxed" cell phone
policy, which could greatly reduce the stress of their passengers.
Cell Phones
'May Trigger Alzheimer's Disease'
Rats exposed to two hours of cell phones had an abundance of dead
brain cells several weeks later, a finding that may be applicable
to humans. The study adds to the long-time controversy over mobile
phone safety.
Cell Phones and Brain
Tumors
People who spend more than an hour a day talking on a cell phone
are almost one-third more at risk of developing a rare form of brain
tumor.
Mobile Telephones and
Brain Tumors
The dangers of mobile phones are apparent, as using them regularly
can more than double one's risk of developing brain cancer.
Next Generation Cell
Phones May Cause Nausea, Headaches
Radio signals from the newest cell phone base stations have caused
side effects ranging from tingling sensations to nausea. Find out
what to expect from these powerful new electromagnetic fields.
Hands-Free Mobile Phones
Cut Radiation Risk More Than 90%
In the midst of continued reports of adverse effects of radiation
from cell phones, several consumer groups are promoting the use
of hands-free devices, which reduce the amount of radiation that
the brain is exposed to by 90%.
Hands-Free Mobile Phones
May Increase Radiation Exposure
Contrary to previous assumptions, hands-free mobile phone kits can
significantly boost the brain's exposure to radiation, according
to research conducted by a British consumer research magazine.
Cell Phones the Newest
Teen Addiction
A report claims that cigarettes are slowly being replaced by an
equally addictive obsession--the mobile phone. Although the decline
in smoking is certainly a good thing, the fact remains that NO ONE
has studied the long-term effects of cell phone radiation on your
brain.
More Dangers From Cell
Phones
Another study is casting doubt on the supposed safety of cell phones.
Federal Report States
Data on Cell Phone Does Not Address Safety
Americans' cell phone use has skyrocketed--from 16 million users
in 1994 to some 110 million today. This rapid increase has been
accompanied by fears that heavy use of the devices could lead to
brain cancer or other health problems.
Cell Phone Companies
Patent Cancer Shields
The world's largest cell phone manufacturers have been patenting
devices to reduce the risk of brain tumors among users while rejecting
claims of any health hazards. Do you detect any hypocrisy here?
Cancer Cell Study
Revives Cell Phone Safety Fears
Find out what you need to know to protect yourself from this potential
cause of brain tumors.
Cell Phones to
Carry Radiation Labels
This is a good thing as reducing radiation exposure is very important.
The best option of all however, is to avoid the use of cell phones
completely.
Electromagnetic
Fields and Cell Phones
Electromagnetic fields too weak to heat up the body, including those
of cell phones, have been linked to cancer and other illnesses since
the 1960s. However, the current 'safety' limits are still inadequate
to protect workers and the public from the effects of these fields.
This article exposes the bad science at the center of the controversy.
Mobile Telephones Can
Cause Dizziness, Nausea and Headaches
Five other article links on the dangers of cell phones and what
you can do to protect yourself from them.
Mobile Phone Companies
to Face Lawsuits Over Brain Tumors
Mobile phone companies are facing legal action from brain tumor
victims in the United States. If you are a frequent cell phone user,
please take the time to review the evidence on this issue and I
think you will conclude that the convenience is simply not worth
the risk.
