  Hey guys,

  Remember a few years ago when cell phones were first really catching on and there was a big deal about the radiation possibly causing brain tumors? supposedly, some people were turning up with tumors on the side of their head that they use their cell phones on. it was on dateline or primetime or nightline...one of those "lines" or "times"...maybe all of them. they said it was the antennae that was the problem. but then i didn't really hear about it anymore.

  now they say that cell phones in dudes pockets leaves them all but sterile. (maybe that's actually a good thing...)

  i was just wondering if anyone had heard anything else about dangers from cell usage. seems that the world is in a heap of trouble if this stuff is for real.

  apparently, getting in a car accident should be the least of your worries.

  While living in Israel a few years ago I was asked to do a survey of studies regarding cell phones, transmitters and recievers on human health. I was able to find several dozen studies (not sponsored by manufactures) that had been conducted over a span of a decade. None resulted in any indication that health was threatened in any way.

  There was also something I heard about the old thermal printers for computers emitting fumes that caused cancer. I did a search on google and found nothing.
