Is it true that cell phones can be harmful to a person's health?

What youdo you guys think of that site?
It seems to be sending out false information.[/QUOTE]

It's a crock. Do you really need anyone to debunk claims of a stupid one-and-a-half inch piece of plastic that protects you from computers and [I]electricity[/I] :rofl: by "biologically stabilizing" radiation?
It's a thirty dollar piece of plastic that does nothing at all but line its inventor's wallet.

Animals suffer from electrical radiation exposure just as we do. Protect your pets, give them a RA*D*AR for improved health and save on Vet bills.

Yes, it is.Saber said:Is it true that cell phones can be harmful to a person's health?

Absolutely! A car accident is four times more likely when using a cell phone.Saber said:Is it true that cell phones can be harmful to a person's health?
The answer is the same as with the cell phones themselves. If the frequency of the radiation doesn't interact with your body, it still won't interact with your body if you turn up the wattage.smithg86 said:what about radiation and possible health effects from cell phone towers? i only ask because one is going to be constructed about 2 blocks from my house. i tried to find some info on them, but most seemed to be from cell phone companies - and therefore are probably not to be trusted.
ray b said:yes they are
they cause people to act like idiots
esp when driving

What is it about cell phones that has people so spooked? People have been listening to the radio for a hundred years!
Anttech said:If GSM is bad for us, then we should really already have seen the effects, considering the density of GSM radio masks. In fact, there are even located inside buildings these days.
I am saying there is not. There is no evidence to suggest EM waves at that frequency harm humans. Would you like to back your speculation with a study or two?Panda said:Are we not already seeing the effects?
Peoples health is not the same as it was 20 years ago. There are a lot of theories about why but no single set of causal effects have been identified.
Why is there an increase in reported cancers?
Better diagnosis?
Food Additives?
Poor Diet?
Pollution?
Increased RF Radiation?
Staring at this computer monitor?
I'm not saying there is a causal link, but I'm also not saying there is not.

Proof needs to be provided that there gsm is harmful not the otherway around Normal procedures I am afraid... Burden of proof and all that!would anyone like to cite their speculations?
GSM isn't widely used in the US, CDMA is the most common.Anttech said:Proof needs to be provided that there gsm is harmful not the otherway around Normal procedures I am afraid... Burden of proof and all that!

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-gsm-and-cdma.htm
According CDG.org, CDMA networks support over 270 million subscribers worldwide, while GSM.org tallies up their score at over 1 billion. As CDMA phones become R-UIM enabled and roaming contracts between networks improve, integration of the standards might eventually make differences all but transparent to the consumer.
No, I believe that CDMA is unique to the US. As is IDEN. Europe was always way ahead of us in cellular technology with GSM.Anttech said:I know CDMA is used in the USA, but I thought the sim cards where dual GSM CDMA. however more network's where actually using the GSM standard, since it has been around for longer.. I could be wrong so feel free...

We don't have SIM cards in the US. It's really sad. If you buy a Phone on "network A", you can't use the phone on "Network B" by simply switching out the SIM card, you have to buy a whole new phone.

BTW interestingly enough, I was speaking to a relation of mine whom lives in LA and he just bought the new blackberry pearl handset, and he has a SIM card. The phone will jump from gsm cdma, probably when roaming i guess.We don't have SIM cards in the US. It's really sad.
There are several potential health risks associated with cell phone use, including exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation, which has been linked to an increased risk of brain tumors, headaches, and other health problems. Additionally, the blue light emitted from cell phone screens can disrupt sleep patterns and potentially lead to eye strain and other vision problems.
While there is ongoing research on the subject, there is currently no conclusive evidence that cell phones directly cause cancer. However, long-term exposure to RF radiation from cell phones may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, such as brain tumors.
To reduce your exposure to RF radiation from your cell phone, you can limit your use of the device by keeping calls short, using a hands-free device, and texting instead of making calls. You can also keep your phone away from your body when not in use, such as by using a belt clip or carrying it in a bag instead of keeping it in your pocket.
Some cell phones emit more RF radiation than others, but there is no definitive evidence that one type of phone is inherently safer than another. However, you can research the specific absorption rate (SAR) of a phone, which measures the amount of RF radiation absorbed by the body, to help make an informed decision when purchasing a new device.
Children may be more vulnerable to the potential health risks of cell phone use because their bodies are still developing and their skulls are thinner, allowing for deeper penetration of RF radiation. It is recommended that parents limit their children's cell phone use and encourage the use of a hands-free device when making calls.
