Cellphones are dangerous / not dangerous: the WHO changes its mind
To say that experts generally don't agree about whether cellphone radiation can fry your brain is an understatement of massive proportions, but amazingly enough, the World Health Organization has come to a pseudo-conclusion. A group of 31 scientists from 14 countries working in the org's International Agency for Research on Cancer says that -- based on a survey of the literature -- those electromagnetic fields are as likely to be potentially carcinogenic as 266 other worrisome substances, including DDT pesticide and the exhaust from your automobile. Mind you, the WHO isn't saying that cellphones cause cancer, as today's decision is merely the latest call for more research, but the fact that respected scientists even claim that a correlation should be considered will probably be enough to stir the pot.
Cellphones are dangerous/not dangerous, baby daddy edition
Dudes, if you're into cellphone carryin' on that belt or anywhere else in that -- ahem -- vacinity, you'd better watch out if you plan on being a proud pop in the future. Research by the Cleveland Clinic concludes that men in a study who used a wireless phone for more than four hours per day had the biggest drop in fertility. Are those electromagnetic waves really to blame here? There are studies that show cellular radiation does indeed heat up human tissue, but the level is so low that any health impact is non-existent or negligible. Still, we're going to start keeping those phones on the counter or desk and cuddle up for a nice conversation with that trusty Bluetooth headset from now on.[Via textually.org]
