Study shows cell phone use does impact brain, but impact is of "unknown clinical significance"

[^_^ 5,021]

In a preliminary study, researchers found that 50-minute cell phone use was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism (a marker of brain activity) in the region closest to the phone antenna, but the finding is of unknown clinical significance, according to a study in the February 23 issue of JAMA.

...

"Concern has been raised by the possibility that RF-EMFs emitted by cell phones may induce brain cancer. … Results of this study provide evidence that acute cell phone exposure affects brain metabolic activity. However, these results provide no information as to their relevance regarding potential carcinogenic effects (or lack of such effects) from chronic cell phone use."

"Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have potential long-term harmful consequences," the authors conclude.

So these results are significantly insignificant.

No. I haven't been on much the last week or so and nothing much has struck my fancy over there.

I recommend applying sour cream and chives to the lesions, and topping with bacon bits and grated cheddar cheese.
