WHY OH WHY waste time a study? Isn’t common knowledge that everything gives you cancer? :)

Could it be normal cell division (mitosis)?

I will testify from experience that cell phones suck the brains out of drivers.

Ugh...no, not exactly, and this is one of the hazards in simplifying this sort of thing for publication. The study demonstrated that one pathway to cell division was activated with irradiation. That isn't cancer. It's cell division.

Naturally this should be followed by extensive epidemiological studies related to the incidence of oncogenesis in a population known to use cellphones. That might provide an empirical link to cancer. This doesn't. IMHO.

Cell Phone Triggers Saudi Blast
FBI Puts U.S. Officials On Watch For Phone-Detonated Bombs

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2003

(AP) Cell phones found during the investigation of the recent terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia were rigged to detonate explosives by remote control, the FBI said Wednesday, urging U.S. law enforcement officials to be on the lookout for such devices.

The modified cell phones turned up during searches in Saudi Arabia following the May 12 bombing in Riyadh that killed 35 people, including nine Americans, according to a weekly FBI bulletin to 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies.

I don’t know if cell phones cause cancer or not.... but I know my blackberry has vibrated so many times while attached to my belt and receiving an email... that my hip now often has that sensation when I ain’t wearing the thing.

Am I wrong? Aren’t cell signals just like radio signals? All around all of the time - anyway? How can talking on a cell phone give you more exposure.

In Portland, there was a study that found more cancer in homes on a hill with many radio/TV towers. However, the way some people live on their cell phones, I'd think we'd already be seeing the results if the study is true.

Unfortunately, the cell formation that is triggered by excessive cell phone use is not of the brain type.
