An international panel of experts says cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to humans after reviewing details from dozens of published studies.
The statement was issued in Lyon, France, on Tuesday by the International Agency for Research on Cancer after a weeklong meeting of experts. They reviewed possible links between cancer and the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cellphones, microwaves and radar.
The agency is the cancer arm of the World Health Organization and the assessment now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cellphone use.
The group classified cellphones in category 2B, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Other substances in that category include the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust.
Last year, results of a large study found no clear link between cellphones and cancer. But some advocacy groups contend the study raised serious concerns because it showed a hint of a possible connection between very heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly form of brain tumor. However, the numbers in that subgroup weren't sufficient to make the case. Fox News
Prophets-Link to God?
Wow, that's not so good. What was thought to be a great form of communication is now proving to be dangerous. Cellphone use has not officially been deemed carcinogenic to humans yet, but tests are being done to make sure that we are not giving ourselves brain tumors. This is a very real problem because almost 75% of the worlds population uses a cellphone, which may be causing cancer.
There are many things in this world that are good, but can turn bad. Take the Internet for example, there are many wonderful tools such as Google, Map quest, News networks, email accounts, and many others. So the Internet is a great place! But what about all those other things on the Internet, the things you would want your mom to see you looking at. I would say that there are more of the latter type of websites on the Internet. Now I'm sure you have heard people talk about dangers, how about a prophet of God? A prophet of God addresses real problems like these, the problems that we each face in our lives. There is a prophet on the earth today, one that can lead and direct Gods children (you and me). I invite you to read or listen to a prophet today, visit mormon.org or lds.org to hear a prophet now!
