John, I don't believe that study. The numbers are too big.

<His research compared 1,600 people who survived brain tumours with 1,600 healthy people. He found that those who had used mobile phones for more than five years were 26 per cent more likely, and those who used them for more than a decade were 77 per cent more likely, to develop a brain tumour than those who did not. The tumours were 2.5 times more likely to be on the same side of the head as the phone was usually held.>

Given the very low energy from microwaves at 800 MHz or 2GHz, the great predominance of brain tumours resulting from radiation would be due to naturally occurring high energy ionizing radiation with no help needed from the microenergy available from cellphone microwaves.

There should not be 2.5 times as many on the cellphone side of the head. Of the 1,600 who had brain tumours, I don't believe more than a couple could be related to cellphone usage. Therefore, he couldn't develop 26% and 77% probablities.

The microenergy for DNA breakage could only be useful in a narrow spectrum of energy in the range from where bonds are almost, but not quite, breaking due to natural radiation alone to where they are starting to break in large numbers.

I think we'll find that the study isn't very well designed.
