The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe team discuss the evidence for a correlation between cell phones and brain cancer, with some unexpected twists and turns.

By far the best Sci-Fi show out there. I watch it online at sgustreaming (.) com
Wow this video was amazingly well done considering it wasn’t really a video at all but rather a slideshow
And weird, now I know what you guys look like. I had totally wrong mental images. LOL.
It was disclosed in the NYTimes last week that GlaxoSmithKline caused 83,000 diabetes patients to have heart attacks and/or strokes because they wanted to promote Avandia. ,, A 334 pg.report from the Senate Finance Comm. includes the same kind of emails, letters, trashing of well known and recognized experts in fields.The histories run along the same lines and lies.matching the cell phones , FDA is the overseeing agency (coupled with FCC in the cell phone case.) They don’t care about you.

awesome
Really, how did you guys get married?
Shouldn’t we be more worried about infrared and visible light, since they have a higher frequency ranges?
Very recent E.U. health report says they DO have a proven brain cancer causing effect.
View my site to watch a video from a scientist that has proved that cell phones can cause brain cancer.
See here at youtube the video “biological effect in blood from pulsed electromagnetic fields after 5, 17 and 29 minutes”
is it idiocy because you don’t believe it, or because the data doesn’t point that way. He’s talking about the data, maybe you should listen and research the data yourself.
Reminds of the myth about cancer and high power lines. Turns out poorer people with bad diet, habits (smoking, drinking, etc) poor health, poor environment lived near power lines, obviously you have to take other factors into account.
rebecca got married
i was holding out for her
Did Steve Novella edit this video? Because he has a good sense of humor if he did, he doesn’t make that many jokes on the podcast
.
I am reminded of Richard Hawkins comments on Expelled.
Lord Privy or something.
Cough.
I very much agree
this is absolute nonsense. has there been even one documented case of this? this is idiocy
Aside from being informative, this video is highly entertaining.
Thanks guys!
Non-ionizing radiation and at low levels the RF should pose no threat. There is more energy in near proximity to high power UHF TV towers.
Geez… I think the science was expressed properly.
In lieu of any scientific data that clearly expresses gross cellular damage by cell phone wavelengths we have to rely on population studies.
Some indicate small increases in tumour rates and some cant see the effect.
compare cell death that to the number of rude people who have been assaulted whilst using their phones in inappropriate places and the cancer death rate dissappears.
Turn the damn things off for a change!
?????
I like wearing stuff on one’s belt, but I must admit when someone walks up to me with one of those head set things on their ear, the first thought that flashes is, “douche”.
Sorry guys but today’s celphones are way cooler & fashionable & functional than any Star Trek communicator. Ever seen a Star Trek communicator take a picture?
Hysterical… tho i think it downplays the “leaning positive” or correlation between cell phones and cancer. I agree with Shilnr.
read the book cell phones: invisible hazards in the wireless age, by George Carlo. it talks all about how the wireless industry, when it accidentally (inconveniently) funds ‘positive’ research, seeks to suppress it and actually destroy data. there’s a lot of profit in telecommunications and the last thing the industry wants is the buying, consuming public to think wireless doesn’t equal safety and health. so the mixed literature might reflect the politics of ego and profit more than the truth.

All cells are subject. The three most vulnerable cell types are supposedly found in the brain, the eye and the reproductive system. True, they are the ones we notice first. Microwave kills the cell by heating it. Radio can do the same thing if there is enough intensity.
