Scientist Says Extensive Cell Phone Use Causes Cancer
Award-winning cancer researcher and neurosurgeon Dr. Vini Khurana has some things to say about our use of cell phones, and none of them are good. Having reviewed more than 100 studies of mobile phones' effects on the human brain, Dr. Khurana notes that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumors," believing these claims will be "definitively proven" in the next decade.
The German and French governments have made public statements warning against prolonged cell phone usage (particularly by children), and Khurana believes there is good reason to worry. "It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," he told The Independent. "Unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps," he believes, the number of malignant brain tumors will rise drastically in the next ten years.
According to the Independent, the Mobile Operators Association said that Dr. Khurana's study fails to "present a balanced analysis" of the previously published works, which is about as surprising as tax day. [From: The Independent]

Didn't we hear this 10 years ago?

Yes you heard it 10 years ago and you will still be hearing it 10 years from now. My son, a former cell phone salesman for Verizon and 360 Communications is a stage 4 Gleoblastoma brain tumor survivor. We have no doubt why the tumor developed, especailly since it developed right where he held his cell phone for seven years. Keep using your cell phone and you just might be as lucky as my son. By the way, this is the same thing Senator Kennedy died from. By the way, I do not own a cell phone.

....Dude these studies were repeatedly disproven YEARS ago.

The studies have not been disproven. To say that these studies are false shows just how ignorant you really are. These are waves going through your brain. You wouldnt put your head in the microwave right? This is the same type of wave but in a smaller dosage, a prolonged usage of cell phones can cause malignant brain tumors over a period of time. Be careful when using your device, opt for a blue tooth, or even a cordless home phone when possible. You'll be thankful later on in life.
Goodluck,
Madie
