Cancer Expert Warns Employees Over Cell Phone Use
So there's no connection between cell phone use and cancer right?
Right?!
Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, thinks that there might be, and he wants the public to play it safe. He has formally warned his employees about the dangers of prolonged cell phone use. His concern is based on "early unpublished data," which has him convinced that people should "be safe instead of sorry later." He is especially concerned about children, as their brains are still developing and thus more susceptible to damage.
Cell phones do emit a type of electromagnetic radiation, and there are ongoing studies are seeking to determine if this can enhance the possibility of developing brain tumors.
The FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) Web site has this to say: "If there is a risk from these products -- and at this point we do not know that there is -- it is probably very small."
Why doesn't that quote make us feel better? Could it be because this is just the latest example in a seemingly nonstop stream of cell-phones-cause-cancer stories? [Source: CNN]

There has always been a debate over cell phone use and its connection with Cancer. I suspect that there is scientific correlation but most folks don't want to hear it(no pun intended)!!! The truth may set you free but first it is often upsetting, as it messes with our comfort zone and challenges our "sophisticated rationalizations"
Russian Roulette with one's head via cell phone usage deserves some serious thought. Look into further while you are cancer free!!( also, especially if you have any teenage kids)
