The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsIt's Not A Tumor, It's Not: At Least Not One Caused By Cell Phones
Care of Science News Daily, we learn that a study has disproven the link between cellphones and tumors. In an article by Yahoo News, it was found that
"there was no increased risk of tumor associated with using the phones for at least 10 years."
So, does that mean that we can use cell phones for 10 years straight without getting cancer? What happens on the 11th year? Perhaps I'll have to use my cell phone for 10 years, take a year break, then use it for another 10 years, and so on.
They did state that it
"may not be a good idea for children to use the phones for long periods because their brains are still developing. Also, it is too early to tell what the effects of long-term use will be on adults."
The way things are these days, do we really have to worry about cell phone tumors anyhow? I mean, doesn't it seem that just about every second person on earth gets this disease? Why fight it? I'm giving in and let be what be. Thank goodness for animal research, though, because almost all of us will be relying on it for survival at some point.

Except for the hardcore PETA folks. Hopefully, through Darwin, there won't be any left after this generation. You may remember that Linda McCartney was a member of PETA. Then she got cancer. She decided to undergo chemo/radiation. PETA disowned her because she tried to save her life using treatments tested on animals.
