Tid Bit

As a public service so t hat more people can walk about the stores with their phone to their ears, oblivious of the rest of this world, I offer the following latest assurances that they are only a hazard to others.

From International Journal of Epidemiology

Brain Tumour Risk in Relation to Mobile Telephone Use: Results of the INTERPHONE International Case-control Study

The INTERPHONE Study Group

Conclusions Overall, no increase in risk of glioma or meningioma was observed with use of mobile phones. There were suggestions of an increased risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases and error prevent a causal interpretation. The possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further investigation.
