CHILDREN AND CELLPHONES

We didn't see the dangers in smoking years ago, could that dangerous naivety be true with our cellphones?

There seems to be the the odd study you can find in newspapers showing an elevated risk of brain cancer with the use of cellphones especially for exposed children. We wrote about a study we found over a year ago and now there seems to be more research showing a link between brain cancer and cellphone use especially for children that start using a cellphone before the age of 20. Here is a portion from the Montreal Gazette, (Brain Cancer Linked to Youngsters Using Cellphones by Sara Schmidt):

"The findings of 15 studies from health researchers in six different countries,       looking at the effects of electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation on living cells and on the health of humans, should jolt government agencies into action as a precautionary measure, Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health & the Environment at the University at Albany, and one of the co-authors, said in an interview.

"What stands out is the consistency of the association of exposure and disease. The evidence, as I see it, is sufficiently strong that there needs to be public warnings, there needs to be establishments of exposure guidelines and that the present guidelines — in Canada, the United States or anyone else — are not protective of human health.

"I see us facing a major problem in the future because of the fact that young children are on cellphones constantly, and we may be setting ourselves up for an epidemic of brain cancer, the same thing we did with cigarette smoking and lung cancer." www.montrealgazette.com/Health/Brain+cancer+linked+youngsters+using+cellphones/1395572/story.html
