WHO Declares Cell Phones Possibly Carcinogenic

[Guest]

The International Agency for Research on cancer (IARC), a part of the World Health Organization (WHO) now classifies "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields" as "possibly" carcinogenic to humans.

However, it is important to note that the WHO did not classify cellophanes as a known carcinogen, which would put it on the same level as tobacco, sunlight, wood dust or mineral oils.

I do not normally criticize the abysmal proof-reading (or lack of) that takes place here but it is getting pretty ridiculous...hire a dam high school kid to edit your articles please Tom's!

Yeah, +1 for that. Seriously, you can't just hit spellcheck and choose Correct for everything without reading the corrections first! That's not proofreading!

Doctor WHO?

as if the UN, or any agency attached to it, has any credibility left...

Yeah yeah they're saying use headphones.. BUT what about our hands? Do we risk our hands getting Cancer due to 'exposure' from the cellphone?

I'm surprised nobody has started making "radiofrequency electromagnetic resistant pockets" in our pants, yet.

Forget your hands, what about your BALLS SON!? (I'm assuming you're male... or a woman with balls... or something.)

Because such pockets would obviously reduce reception.

Cool, now ban them in all public places like cigarettes. Start with movie theaters!

Talk about "radiofrequency electromagnetic resistant" ear or balls...

I line my private area with tinfoil. Chicks love it

Also, oxygen and water are POSSIBLY lethal (in the wrong place/dose/form etc.).
Anything is possible.
WHO is an expert in making statements that are so carefully put, either way it can't go wrong.
I wonder how long it took them to come up with such a brilliant one.

 

[smashley]

Didn't WHO (or some other organization) say about exactly the same thing about 10-15 years ago? Essentially the same statement is in every cellphone manual since then... so another decade later and they have found no conclusive evidence one way or the other. Interesting? No.

How about classifying them as potentially hazardous to the health of yourself and others if you are one of the dumbasses who drive while talking or texting? Who cares if it gives you cancer in 30 years if you end up killing yourself or someone else today?

 

[eddieroolz]

I read it as "who declares cell phones possibly carcinogenic?"...

Personally, I don't care. Not worried.

Genius!

Unfortunately, I already saw this joker pawning this: http://youtu.be/MLOx1kWCWoc

They took all that time to come with this conclusion?
