We didn’t cure polio. We learned how to prevent it. We have learned how to prevent AIDs, but the medicine is so much harder to take than a lump of sugar that it ain’t working out so well.

C’est la vie.

We haven’t cured a diseases in over 60+ years since Polio.

And we probably won’t cure any more. Its far more profitable to treat the symptoms of disease then to actually cure it.

Why are people making up bullshit studies about harmful effects about cell phones? They against the high cost of text mesg fees, or the expensive calling plans you have to sell your soul for two year?

I mean why are people wasting their time on this bullshit when there’s more important things we need to study about. Like cures for diseases would be nice. We haven’t cured a diseases in over 60+ years since Polio.

Ah I thought this was going to be about the radiation from cell phones and the fetus exposure to it. Good to see that they are studding the effects of something else that’s even MORE bogus than what I mentioned above.

Deformed babies, brain tumors… I don’t think it matters anymore.

Society wants these phones and will never give them up.

Stopping cell phones is as inconceivable as giving up cars to save the highway deaths.

As a country, we’re willing to pay that horrific price for convenience.

The article didn’t mention whether it was excessive use of the “vibrate” mode by female cell phone users.

What a health concern
As a young woman out and about how you be 100 % sure that you are not… with child
Not without the medical test and even then
Always now a potential health risk to that unborn child
How are these poor women now going to yack on the phone nonstop while driving ?
I guess it’s discriminatory against women

If you actually READ the article, they haven’t concluded anything yet. This is just a preliminary study.

“They add that there might be other possible explanations that they did not examine – such as that mothers who used the phones frequently might pay less attention to their children – and stress that the results “should be interpreted with caution” and checked by further studies.”

But of course, like many cell phone users, the researchers have to bla, bla, bla, every mundane moment of their insignificant lives in order to get the attention they crave and feel important.

I think cellphone use is the SYMPTOM, not the CAUSE!
