I never knew what to make of the whole cellphone-leads-to-health-issues thing. Even so, I’ve always used a wired headset because (1) my hearing isn’t the greatest, (2) my old cellphone used to get *very* hot when used for more than 20 minutes, and (3) I need to keep my hands free for drinking coffee, corraling children, and bestowing affection upon the spousal unit. :-)

What brand, make and model of cell phone did they use for this experiment?

What? You mean they didn’t use the typical shielded FCC approved mobile device? I’m shocked, shocked at this...

The human race will become extinct because cell phones are worn around the whoopie areas.

“Radiation From Mobile Phones Changes Protein Expression In Living People, Study Suggests”

I am still trying to figure out that sentence. Why would dead people be using a cell phone?.

I know cell phone use by my daughter effects intelligent expression.

at some point down the road (years? decades?) the manufacturers are going to lose their grip on the publication/recognition (in the US, at any rate) of medical issues involved extensive use of cell phones, and they are going to be hounded like the tobacco companies by lawyers.

Bump; If cell phone radiation is “harmful” on some small level, then soon EMF radiation from power lines will be deemed to be “harmful,” then television & radio transmissions will be deemed harmful (I always knew they would put a stop to right-wing talk radio & the Fox News channel), then..... oh well.

Let’s hope that good studies are done and well thought out science is performed that provide comparisons of the risk to other risks taken freely in our society.

I think they meant to say that mobile phone radiation affects the bodies of people and not just cultures of living cells.

I think it’s unlikely that cellphone makers thought there might be serious health issues with their product.

But I can’t help but think they never imagined a whole lot of people would keep them stuck to their heads for hours and hours every day.

I personally know of three people in my small town who have had brain tumors removed over the past few years. All of the tumors were located behind the right ear.

After between 90 and 120 years of usage, you die.

At some point you have only 8 days left and then about a week or so later only 8 minutes, then lights out.

It’s time to PUNISH cell phone users for thier callous disregard for their health, much like smokers and obese people.

SIN TAX on all cell phones and calls made.

INCREASE HEALTH and LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

Maybe if people didn’t have their cellphone glued to their head 24x7 it wouldn’t be an issue.

Just maybe.

I have heard previously that neurosurgeons had not noticed any change since the start of the cell phone era in the pattern of brain tumor location. But I heard this several years ago.

I nearly died when I saw the cellphone bill.
I think they call that pain and suffering.

Changes Protein Expression

Phones have expressions?

How about bluetooth ear pieces, much worse I am sure.

I've never done a survey but I am right handed and I hold my phone to my left ear with my left hand.

Wishing your neighbors/friends full recovery.
