A study funded by the European Union and the cellphone industry has just completed it's 13-country study on whether cellphone use can be linked to increased risk for brain tumors.
The report called Interphone, concluded with researchers claiming they found no substantial evidence to link the two together.
However, many critics and scientists agree; with increased use among the younger generation, more studies will need to be conducted.
The question comes to mind how much influence the 'cellphone industry' had over how the scientists were supposed 'interpret' the data. If the study came to definitively show that cellphone use is linked to the development of brain cancer, I believe there would be an uproar from the public and we would see a noticeable drop in the amount of cellphone use.
It is scary to think sometimes how little we actually know about the technologies we use and their ultimate effects on our lives.
Hopefully a new innovation for communication will lead to less radiation exposure.
