So you’re thinking, “Not another anti-cellphone scare piece!”
Well, click the link and read the full article anyway. 🙂
How Cellphone Radiation Affects Your Cells
Radiation from cell phones is too weak to heat biological tissue or break chemical bonds in cells, but the radio waves they emit may still change cell behavior.
Scientists exposed 10 female volunteers to radiation at 900 megahertz from GSM phones to simulate an hour-long phone call. […] This study shows that even without heating, molecular level changes take place in response to exposure to cell phone frequency electromagnetic radiation. […] We believe the biological damage comes both from the modulated signals that are carried ON the carrier microwave and the carrier wave itself. However, they do their damage by two entirely different mechanisms. These modulated information-carrying radio waves resonate in biological frequencies of a few to a few hundred cycles per second, and can stimulate your cellular receptors causing a whole cascade of pathological consequences that can culminate in fatigue, anxiety and ultimately cancers. […] Do you suffer from any of these common illnesses and ailments, which have all been scientifically linked to cell phone information-carrying radio waves?
[…] To date, there are few alternatives to ensure complete safety, but there are some common sense recommendations:

That’s my public service announcement for today.
Disclaimer: I tend not to like cellphones, though I’ve owned one for years. (And we have three in our household-of-five.)
And now in the Thousand Words Department:
Note to SPCA and PETA: Regarding the above abused rat, I’m only the messenger. Thanks.
(I think SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. I suppose they’re good pals with PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.)
And yet you use one. Hmmm… I think I like my brain the way it is. 🙂
