Wrong, bucko!
It is a well known statistically determinable fact that many more men than women are left handed. Thus, there are likely many more men than women who normally put their cell phone on their left ear. Therefore, if cell phone radiation causes gliomas, the statistics should show that there are many more left handed men than left handed women getting gliomas in excess of what would normally occur in the population as a whole. Show me statistics on that point, and I'll consider your argument.
The study as far as I can tell did not differentiate between left handed men and women. It is faulty, and therefore useless.
Nice rant, however.
And this, Mq, is utterly wrong:
Glioma existed before cellphones, so cellphones cause only a small proportion of gliomas.
But even if it wasn't, the report on the study suggests that it wasn't very well designed.
What about non-malignant tumors? Getting surgically rid of them can lead to severe neurological damage, and they deserve as much study as malignant ones. Not looking at them as a health hazard related to cell phone use is wrong, too, as a huge aspect of cell use risk is ignored.
Plus, what about all the orthopedic injuries caused when folks using a cell phone stumble and fall? And all the road accidents caused by yakking drivers? And all the bombs the various and sundry wackos around the world set off via cell phones?
I haven't even begun on the toxic wastes created by spent batteries and outmoded and improperly disposed handsets.
I tell you, cells are dangerous. I'm calling my lawyer immediately. |
