Cancer and Cell Phones

This is not new news, but the cell phone = cancer connection got another boost yesterday from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. I saw this report on the TV news last night, but here's a link to the study. Here's a link to a February, 2008, study at Tel Aviv University in Israel showing a similar connection.

There have also been studies showing no link. People who use cell phones need to be aware of the growing concern. Suggested solutions are to use a cell phone with a speakerphone feature so you can hold the phone away from your head/face, or use an earpiece/speaker device with a long enough wire so you can lay the phone down away from your body. DON'T lay the phone in your lap when talking while driving using a wired earpiece!
