I
am convinced that making a ton of phone calls with your cell phone glued to
your ear is a bad idea; a horrible idea; a potentially brain tumor-causing
idea.
This
video by Dr. Thornton just confirms my fears by explaining that electromagnetic
radiation from cell phones has been implicated in causing some kinds of brain
tumors: https://www.sharecare.com/video/sharecare-experts/lisa-thornton/why-is-there-concern-that-cell-phones-may-cause-cancer
Now
that I’m especially paranoid, what do I do? Throw my cell phone in the trash can? Luckily,
Dr. Miller had this some practical advice for me on the same sharecare.com website:

Havening
watched that, I zipped over to the National Cancer Institute site on the NIH
website for their POV. Their information was cautiously uncommitted; which is
another way of saying that they believe there
should be a link/association/relation but nobody’s found it yet. You can read
their comments here: http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet#q1
Having
read and written all that, I’m still worried about my kids who seem to have
their cell phones grafted onto their ears.
