Woo cell phone use linked to brain cancer

[Poomanchu745]

So the WHO has done a 10 year study came to the conclusion that cell phones are linked to brain cancer. I for one do not really use my cell phone very much but this has to be some concern to all the 13 year olds who already have a cell phone and always have their ear glued to it. All these people who are self obsessed and have to be in constant communication with everyone else are gonna be the ones who in several years will be suffering with different types of brain cancer. I guess its healthy to have fewer friends!

You just picked up on this? These rumours have been around for years. It only has those effects if you excessively use them.

 

[Daveman]

that's what you get for using microwaves for earmuffs

 

[Space Spoons]

Kind of a downer. Makes me glad I only use my cell phone for emergencies.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Old news?

Meh, I never use my phone anyway. Nobody ever calls me on it.

Like that Behind blue eyes Who? *laughs*

and Oh well, I mean sure they may cause brain cancer, but it's not like that's what going to make people stop using them forever.

this one's pretty old, really. heard about it 2 years ago. i heard a company in Sweden is making hats with silver ear protectors, to keep out the evil rays.
as for me, I hate cellphones, and barely use mine.

Ya the key word is rumors. This is a 10 year, 30 million dollar study that confirms these rumors. There are also rumors that we have never landed on the moon. Experimental studies are there to make conclusion and either verify or reject hypothesis'. So saying that there have been rumors for a few years doesn't really mean anything.

 

[Poomanchu745]

God I hate this stupid bullshit. These rumors have been around forever, it's bullshit. It's even been on Bullshit. Seriously, I don't buy it. It's like the people that say artificial sweeteners cause cancer. I suppose they do....IF YOU DRINK 300 CANS OF POP A DAY!

People over blow stuff and make money off of the fear they induce.

Um ya... just keep telling yourself that the world health organization is full of BS and that they are not reputable. Just don't be surprised about the brain cancer you get because you are constantly on ur cell phone.

Link to source or it didn't happen!

This has been floating about for ages, no-one's managed to prove or disprove it so far. Give it another ten years and we'll all know, by then celphones will have been around long enough to really put some heavy exposure on people.


Although I can see the logical link between putting a microwave powerful enough to transmit into space next to your head and getting brain cancer.

should you trust a research done by a band?

OT: they link everything to the killer-C now...

EDIT: please for the love of Dethklok stop making threads, it's getting out of control now.

 

[Ammadessi]

I think it would be quicker just to list the things that don't cause cancer.

 

[ryai458]

edit: 700th post woo!

I'm 16 and have never had a cell phone.

A band? I didn't realize the world health org. made music.

Oh well, I never use my phone anyway.

But mobile phones have been around since what, the mid eighties? If this stuff was true, shouldn't the people who've had them since the start be showing the signs of cancer by now?

EDIT: OP, did you not get that guys joke? You wrote "the WHO" in your post. The guy picked up on this and made a joke.

Oooo lol. No i did not see that. I just figured the guy was dumb or something.

That rumour has been tossed around ever since the damn things were invented. Big deal, everything seems to cause cancer these days and we're all going to die eventually anyway so who gives a shit.
