Study Says Cell Phones A Radiation Risk

An award winning cancer expert has concluded that cell phones will be a larger threat than smoking for the world wide population in the future. Cell phone usage is said to be at 3 billion users world wide, three times as many as smoking. The study, by Dr. Vini Khurana, has concluded that radiation risks from cell phones are a major risk, and that the amount of people diagnosed with brain cancer will significantly increase if there are no changes. The reason many studies have said cell phones are not a risk, is because they haven't looked at long term usage, that of 10 years or more, at least not on a wide scale.

I think most of us can assume the risks that are involved with cell phones, but decide to turn the other way and try to believe otherwise. I like Germany and France's moves, advising people to minimize handset use, and or use headsets. I think this is a step in the right direction, not taking too drastic of measures to significantly harm the mobile industry in the chance that studies are wrong, but also to warn people that their cell phones may not be safe.
