I’m not buying this one. It sounds like a conclusion in search of data to support it.

About a decade ago, I read Brain Surgeon by Keith Black, a neurosurgeon affiliated with Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. I recall Dr. Black was convinced that cell phones could cause brain tumors and that he had seen patients with brains tumors who were obsessive cell phone users whose tumors were on whichever side of the head they held their cell phones.

This is worth looking into. I recently saw a collection of school science experiments with growing plants near phones and WiFi. The students actually documented differences. I recall a friend his engineering masters did a related study showing results. And from my nuclear studies, many, many years ago, I’m not surprised. Look at WiFi and the broadcast from a router. I figure phones and WiFi have impact. How much, what level becomes dangerous? Will my kids have issues later because of iPads on their laps. I worry about that, remind them to not sit them on their laps—a losing battle. Even Bluetooth, what longterm impact of having one stuck in your ear?

“not putting them in your pocket.”
Where are you supposed to put them? In your shoe? I suppose men are supposed to start carrying purses.

Microwaves aren’t just for cooking bacon..............................
If your microwave oven leaked as much RF energy as your cellphone emits, it would fail the leakage test and never leave the factory.............

The panel voted that the results from years of testing on mice and rats were more significant than originally thought.
ahh, but this is not science...................
so then, what is it?

Whenever you have to vote on science, it isn’t science.

Both activists and researchers agree that people can minimize any risk by holding phones away from the body when in use and not putting them in your pocket.
Maybe we should jump on board with this and invest in landlines and pay phones?

I worry about that, remind them to not sit them on their lapsa losing battle. Have your kids do this:
Take a slice of bacon, put it in your microwave oven, turn it on for one minute.
Then tell them, "If this microwave leaked as much energy as your cellphones and iPads put out, it would fail the safety test at the factory and never be sold."................

They are subjecting the animals to radiation stronger than that experienced by people using a cell phone.
Assuming that the radio signals coming from the phone cause cancer, there is no way for the manufacturers to make them safer, and it is stupid to suggest that they can.
The only way to “make them safer” is to keep the phone far from the body at all times, especially when a call is being made. But that would defeat the entire purpose for which they are made! (The inverse-square law).
You want something to worry about? Wireless charging. It charges by induction, without any cable connection. The charger that is charging your phone is inducing a current in you as well. So if you keep the damned thing by your bed, you are getting charged too. And no one is talking about it.

Science is not subject to a vote. I believe that was a typo. 'Voted' should probably read 'Noted'.
