Posting this here as an fyi to anyone who's interested in the kind of studies the author of the "forbes" publication broadly generalizes as "fruitloopery". Pretty far from it for anyone who isn't burying their head in the sand. A selection of links:
Harmful Association Between Cell Phone Radiation and Tumors: A
review of 23 epidemiological studies by 7 scientists on the link between cell phones and cancer concluded, “harmful association.”
Increased Risk of Acoustic Neuroma in Long-Term Users of Cell Phones: A
recent study on 790,000 middle aged women in the UK found that, “women who used cell phones for ten or more years were two-and-a-half times more likely to develop an acoustic neuroma. Their risk of acoustic neuroma increased with the number of years they used cell phones.”
Increased Risk of Acoustic Neuroma: Research conducted by
Lonn suggests, “an increased risk of acoustic neuroma associated with mobile phone use of at least 10 years’ duration.”
Brain Tumor Risk is Higher on ‘Cell Phone’ Side of Head: A
research paper that reviewed 11 studies found, “a link between prolonged cell phone usage and the development of an ipsilateral [same side of head as cell phone] brain tumor.”
Malignant Brain Tumors: Recent work by
Hardell looked at long-term use of mobile and cordless phones. In conclusion it was found that, “this study confirmed previous results of an association between mobile and cordless phone use and malignant brain tumors. These findings provide support for the hypothesis that RF-EMFs play a role both in the initiation and promotion stages of carcinogenesis.”
Oral Cancer: An
Israeli study on 460 cases of parotid gland tumors (PGT) found, “based on the largest number of benign PGT patients reported to date, our results suggest an association between cellular phone use and PGTs.”
Parotid Malignant Tumors: Another
Israeli study analyzed deaths as recorded on the National Cancer Registry over a 36 year period found, “the total number of parotid gland cancers in Israel increased 4-fold from 1970 to 2006 as cell phone use increased, whereas other major salivary gland cancers remained stable.”
Eye Cancer: A
German Study has established a link between uveal melanoma and cell phone radiation and similar exposures.
Single and Double-Strand DNA Breaks: In pioneering work at the University of Washington a team found
DNA single strand breaks from EMF radiation exposures on rats in an initial study. A subsequent study found
single and double-strand DNA breaks.
Increased Rates of Micronuclei: Micronuclei proliferation indicates a type of DNA damage strongly associated with cancer. A
Brazilian study found that, “electromagnetic field irradiation [low level cell phone type exposures] during pregnancy leads to an increase in erythrocytes micronuclei incidence in rat offspring.”
DNA Strand Breaks: An Austrian study exposed human and rat cells to mobile phone radiation and found, “DNA single-strand and double-strand breaks.”
