Why Your Cell Phone Can Hurt Your Children
The U.S. National Research Council has advised that researchers should study children and pregnant women in order to determine if cell phones or other wireless devices could be causing health damage. The U.S. FDA had asked the National Research Council, which advises the federal government on scientific matters, to recommend some future lines of study. Most studies of cell phones to date have looked only at short-term effects on healthy adults. The Council noted that, "Although it is unknown whether children are more susceptible to RF exposure, they may be at increased risk because of their developing organ and tissue systems." The Council also identified a number of other overarching issues that merit further study, such as differences between long- and short-term exposure, and possible biological mechanisms, other than simple heating, by which wireless radiation could affect cells.

My Mom smoked - it was cool. No warnings back then. Now cell towers, phones, laptops++++ I'll bet Madame Currie [discovered Xrays] would have made at least some changes to how she treated Xray equipment if she'd known what we do now about Xrays which apparently killed her... 2. New StudyGuest User, UnregisteredHeres another study on informationweek.com that says theres no link between cell phones & cancer. Dr. Mercola is really good though. I would tend to believe his findings before someone elses. 3. UntitledEliyahna, UnregisteredI still use my cell phone all day long... I'm just careful with it. I always use a head set and I keep it in my purse. Kids often feel infallible so I think it is probably good to keep an extra eye on their usage. |
