Study: Cell Phones Unlikely to Cause Cancer - Breast Implants, Coffee Safe Too
Breast Implants, Coffee Safe Too

We’ve all heard that cell phone waves can be harmful to the body, but some great news for mobile addicts was made public today; it turns out, cell phones may not be cancerous after all.

The finding comes from an Australian study dedicated to debunking popular myths, including if drinking coffee, getting breast implants, using deodorant or consuming fluoride causes cancer. Apparently, none have a correlation to cancer. Smoking, booze and too much sun, however, do up your risk factor.

I don’t know if I buy this; cell phones haven’t been around long enough to study the long terms effects. How do you explain that strange sound the radio makes right before a cell phone rings? If the waves are strong enough to affect that from across the room, they must do something to us, no?

I don’t know about this finding… I suggest waiting until the long term studies come out to make official claims.

Drinking alcohol was also a high risk factor, particularly for people who also smoke, although Stewart said no specific type of alcoholic drink was most strongly to blame. Drinking chlorinated water and using a mobile phone was far less likely to cause cancer, Stewart said, although the risks associated with the long-term use of mobile phones have not been fully established. He said there little risk from coffee, deodorants, fluoridated water, breast implants, or dental fillings. (news.zdnet)
