Cell Phones Don't Cause Brain Cancer

[Looger]

here's what i mean, a comparison of how two different radiation sources compare to each other:

let's say as an example there's a 50,000W transmitter 1 km away, and a 3W cellphone 1 m away of similar frequency, for the sake of argument.

that 50,000W transmitter is 1000x farther away, and at inversely squared that's 1,000,000x smaller per watt at the source than that phone.

so that's 0.05 compared to 3, or 60x smaller.

it's not 3W going through your brain from the phone, and it's not 50 mW from that tower. this is just a comparison of source to source, and how ridiculous that ratio is.

Typical cell phone SAR is less than 1W/kg.

But I'm not speaking about the ratio, I'm asking how much power you think the brain is subject to.

not a hell of a lot.

but the post you responded to was responding to why cell phones were so much worse than all those other sources of radio waves.

i'm not here to say they're horrible dangerous devices, if you think i said that then you should re-read my posts.

put a source that close for 6-8 hours a day, there will be a long-term, cumulative effect.

For there to be a long term cumulative effect there has to be a short term immediate effect to be accumulated.

I don't think that's ever been demonstrated with cell phones has it?

The studies I had seen recently on it actually observed the opposite; that cell phone users trended towards a lower risk of brain cancer, and most didn't have a clear link between the side of the head the phone was on and the brain cancer.

It's still a new technology though.
