What About Harmful Effects Of Cell Phones

The Debate continues. Seems like this debate could go on for some time. So what is a person to do when you get told that cell phones are safe and then others say there is a great concern that studies are now showing with long term use they could cause brain tumors.

I know for me I'm not going to play Russian Roulette with my family's brains, I 'm going to protect them with what has been determined as the best cell phone radiation protection device on the market today. I don't want to wait 10 more years while the experts make up their minds about this while my children continue to use a cell phone and will for many years to come, like most people today.

It took many, many years for the tobacco companies to finally admit that smoking causes lung cancer, how many people have to get brain tumors before the cell phone manufacturers finally admit that there is a link between long term cell phone use and brain tumors and they will have to, they will, there is just too much proof being brought out.

Here is an excerpt from a recent news article out of Boston.

Almost all of us own cell phones, and a lot of people seem to have them glued to their ears.

That's why there's a continuing concern about the tiny amount of radiation that cell phones emit.

"A lot of evidence is coming to light about the harmful effects of cell phones."

And some of the highest radiation levels come from some of the newest and coolest phones.

There are worries about brain cancer, but we can reduce our exposure.

There are about 270 million Americans with cell phones.

That's nearly 90 percent of our population.

So it's very important to know if cell phone radiation can hurt us.

Unfortunately, it's hard to know who to believe, or to get a black and white answer.

SOUNDING AN ALARM

"The absence of definitive human evidence now, which I acknowledge, should not be misinterpreted as proof of safety," says Dr. Devra Davis, an environmental health scientist.

Even though there's no definitive evidence of harm, Dr. Davis is sounding the alarm, concerned that using cell phones for years can increase the risk of brain cancer.

"I think the way many of us are using them today will kill people in the future," she says.

To say that's a frightening charge would be an understatement, and some people would call it irresponsible.

INDUSTRY ANSWERS

The cell phone industry says: "The peer-reviewed scientific evidence has overwhelmingly indicated that wireless devices do not pose a public health risk."

And it's not just the industry saying that.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control say basically the same thing.

But Dr. Davis says the studies they point to are often dated and haven't followed cell users long enough.

She says other studies, especially in Europe, are finding at least a potential danger.

"What we're finding is very worrisome," says Dr. Davis.


For a small amount of money, probably the amount you spend on coffee every week you can have a cell phone safety shield on your cell phones to keep you family protected.
