How did we ever live without them? Now you might want to: The respected head of a prominent cancer research institute has warned his staff to limit cell phone use due to the possible risk of cancer. While his warning is contrary to many studies that don't prove a causal link between cancer and cell phone use, Dr. Ronald B. Herberman of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute maintains that electromagnetic radiation from cell phones is a risk, particularly to children. He urges use of speakerphones or wireless headsets, and is convinced that sufficient data warrant concern. Are you going to limit cell phone use until this risk is proven or dispelled? Please email your responses; I'm not answering my phone.
