Do you believe Cell Phones Causes Cancer?

Original Article:  http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-07-02/mobile-phone-use-may-have-no-impact-on-cancer-risk-review-finds.html

So according to The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection’s committee on epidemiology, cell phones may not increase the risk of brain cancer   Well I guess that ends the question.  Makes you wonder though, who is the driving force behind these researches?  Just last month it was all over the news, "Cell Phones Causes Cancer". 

If research can prove that cell phones causes cancer then pharmaceutical companies would benefit because more people will become potential cancer patients or at the very lest cancer prevention patents.  On the other had if you go with this recent study that cell phones doesn't cause cancer, then of course cell phone companies benefit.  I never really buy into these types of innuendo.  Sounds more like politics than science.  I, like millions of other people,  will continue to talk, surf, and play games on my cell phone.

  1. Sounds like the phone companies might be doing their own research and tampering the results? lol Its amazing what the news says one day and the opposite the next. I remember a high school history teacher telling us the news is all propaganda. They say something cures a disease and you can't find that item on any store shelves for a week.
