[busterbrown]

are Back! What do you guys feel about this..

1. Since over 1,500,000,000 cellphones are sold each year, it should soon become obvious.

The numbers are large enough, and the usage long enough, so that any statistically significant effect should be obvious.

2. Seems Like We Should Already Be Seeing Some Pattern In The Data

It's not like these things became ubiquitous yesterday. The iPhone is nearly 12 years old and the Android competitors around 10 by now.

The other thing i wonder is that since so many people are using them at "long range" (speaker not up to their ear) would that affect any of that earlier data?

Since i'm not one addicted to the phone, i don't have many personal concerns, but with the constant usage i'd think we'd be seeing some sort of data trend by now.

4. There doesn't appear to be a strong upward trend

Incidence trends in high-grade primary brain tumors in males and females

In conclusion, the present review indicates that there is no significant difference in the incidence rate between male and female patients with high-grade brain tumors and that there was no significant difference in the incidence rate trend between 1996–2004 and 2005–2010 in male or female patients (P=0.101 and P=0.472, respectively). The present results must be interpreted with caution and further studies are required to fully elucidate this topic.

Being male is a significant risk factor.

5. I Guess I'm Not Surprised

The guy in the interview didn't even make any claims about the safety. Just was talking about how the companies withheld information. So, the information they withheld since then, may or may not have been damning.

3. And between speaker phone and

Bluetooth devices, I rarely put the phone up to my head.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

6. Same bullshit since the invention of the cellular phone

Just rehashed again with no scientific data against it.

7. "Serious discussions" and "truth-out" should rarely be used in the same sentence...

Especially with regard to science.

Truth Out thinks Mercola is credible, but Dr. Paul Offit is not to be trusted.

Then, there was the whole "KARL ROVE HAS BEEN INDICTED" mess.

8. "Truth-out.org"?

Whoo-kay.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Serious discussion and truth-out are mutually exclusive.

[Nitram]

10. It's a nothingburger. As others pointed out before me, we have an enormous statistical pool and

a decade at least, that demonstrates the lack of cancer caused by cell phone use.

[Kilgore]

11. Dont think so.

Have been hearing about cell phones and brain cancer since the early 90`s
If there was a link, you would have seen it in the data by now.

12. Important

14. The Nation article

Is pretty devastating. It looks like big tobacco approach all the way.
It sent me searching on how to mitigate radiation exposure. I told my daughter. She's researching too. Thanks for posting!
