Guess WHO got the cell phone cancer issue wrong . . . That's right, WHO (the World Health Organization) decided to throw science to the wind and declare cell phones a cancer risk comparable to lead, car exhaust and chloroform.

Guess WHO got the cell phone cancer issue wrong . . .

I have to wonder, have they suddenly lost their minds? Read this part very slowly - there's no evidence that cell phones are carcinogenic.There are two reasons I say this with such confidence: 1. The National Cancer Institute says there's no clear evidence that cell phones cause cancer. Mobile phone radiation is a possible cancer risk, warns WHO. Radiation from mobile phones has been classified as a possible cancer risk by the World Health Organisation after a major review of the effects of electromagnetic waves on human health.

Mobile phone radiation is a possible cancer risk, warns WHO

The declaration was based on evidence in published studies that intensive use of mobile phones might lead to an increased risk of glioma, a malignant form of brain cancer. The conclusion by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) applies to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation in general, though most research in the area has centred on wireless phones. The findings are the culmination of an IARC meeting during which 31 scientists from 14 countries assessed hundreds of published studies into the potential cancer risks posed by electromagnetic fields.
