In reply to the discussion: Kucinich's Brain Afflicted by Cell Phone Radiation Horseshit [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)40. Here from your own source -- "suggestion of a possible increased risk of glioma,"
several studies published by the same research group in Sweden have reported an increased risk of tumors on the side of the head where the cell phone was held, particularly with 10 or more years of use.
...
The 13-country INTERPHONE study, the largest case-control study done to date, looked at cell phone use among more than 5,000 people who developed brain tumors (gliomas or meningiomas) and a similar group of people without tumors. Overall, the study found no link between brain tumor risk and the frequency of calls, longer call time, or cell phone use for 10 or more years. There was a suggestion of a possible increased risk of glioma, and a smaller suggestion of an increased risk of meningioma, in the 10% of people who used their cell phones the most.
...
The IARC has classified RF fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans," based on limited evidence of a possible increase in risk for brain tumors among cell phone users.

You object to knowing how much radiation is coming that close to your brain...

Yeah, but that's inattentiveness. Lipstick can kill too and not just because I'm drop-dead gorgeous.

I think you could have made your case without taking such a swipe at Kucinich.
