what are the studies? Where are the links for this study. Were the studies done on actual people, because that is unethical?! Were the studies done on rats. I can't find your study! How can you go back and compare this study- control their environment - what they eat what they drink, family genetics (because we do know that genetics has more to do with it than any other variable),. This link was created in 2000, but it is still a great site as it explores ALL of the issues. www.fda.gov/.../600_phone.html

Cooking on the bar-b-que is a huge carcinogen.... But I still do. I think everything in moderation is true.

A lot of research done in Europe isn't funded by industry but done through public universities.

Regarding this study-- A few weeks ago at my medical school in Norway, our prof showed us a study from Sweden, it might have been this one, but he showed us the errors in how the study was set up. So that study couldn't be seen as valid. BUT, he also showed us another study done very recently in Scandinavia, that showed how cells change after a few minutes of exposure to mobile phones. They aren't completely sure what those cellular changes mean, but we know that anything that messes with cells can lead to problems. (One study I read a few months ago done in Europe showed that the cell detox function is inhibited.) I think we will all know for sure in a few years.

Just walk into any cel phone store and they can provide ALL kinds of data that states cel phones are not dangerous........WHY WOULD THEY SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT - IT WOULD HURT THEIR POCKETBOOKS........

My 16 yr old daughter and I gave up our cel phone months ago due to their harmfulness........and not just on the human level either.

Einstein said "Mankind has 4 years once the bees disappear" FOLKS IT'S TIME TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS - LEST WE SHALL SEE AN EINSTEIN THEORY ONCE AGAIN COME TO FRUITION! The bees are effected by cel phones, as they are effected by force feeding of high fructose corn syrup, the transporting of thousands of miles stacked on top of one another with temperatures never given consideration.........and we wonder why there is colony collapse of these incredible creatures.

Are there any concerns about the use of devices such as Ipods?

I have learn about this long ago, when 20/20 and 6 minutes report this issue. People, are still told bunch of lies about cell-phone uses. When will people start paying attention, instead of waiting for something serious happen to one of our love in the family. Must something always have to happen? WOW! Alot of people need to really start learning and wake up to it. I get so tired out from speak out again cell-phone uses, people just don't desire to know and disbelief. Oh! Well, what can I say! They just don't want to believe until something terrible happens. That is shame.

Hey Dr. Mercola: How about making your blue tube a little less destructable by kids. My kid pulled ours apart, and Grandma whines if she doesn't get to talk to him.

The world is waking up to the dangers of cellphones, and all such devices, but America, the so called free nation, is asleep. Imagine that.

My ex-husband had an oligodendraglioma removed from his brain last year, and he was a heavy cell phone user. And yes, it was on the side of his head against which he'd hold his phone.

I have chronic Lyme - a persistent infection of the central nervous system - and though I never used a cell phone, I did use a cordless phone and lived less than a block away from a water tower which housed a cell phone antenna. I am also one who suffers from an emerging environmental illness called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. Join EMF Refugee.

These frequencies are NOT safe. I urge those of you with obsure illnesses - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Panic Disorder, the list goes on - to google the NON-thermal biological effects of exposure to electromagnetic/microwave/radiowave fields. Cell phone technology is a ticking time bomb. I just pray that people make the connection - and soon.

How about blue tooth technology in cars? Is this hands free technology safe or should you refrain from using it as well?

You are so right, Dr Mercola. Keep up this brilliant exposure of health hazards of EMF. Another resource which I like is www.safewireless.org because I very much admire the personal courage of Dr George Carlo. It takes people like him to keep pushing the envelope, too, to make the world realize this hidden but becoming more obvious problem. Also, in Canada, a man named Milt Bowling has been making great strides at informing the public - for those of you who are Canadian, this is good to know. Anyhow, good work, Dr Mercola! Best, DM

Seems that I have read an article that stated that the latest study conducted regarding cell phone was not dangerous or known to cause brain cancer....must have been conducted by cell phone manufacturers.
