Cell Phone Myths and Radiation Ratings

Cell phones transmit using microwave radiation, the same microwaves used in microwave ovens, just at much lower intensity. Even so, as reputable scientific studies are showing, cell phones cause cancer and other diseases by interfering with intercellular communication. The brain, nervous system, and cells communicate with electrical signals, sound, and radio frequency, which cell phones, wireless computer networks, cordless phones, and other wireless devices interfere with. Alfred Gilman and Martin Rodbell received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering that human cells communicate with radio frequency (RF). So when you’re putting your cell phone to your head, you are literally microwaving your head.

However, cell phones do not emit enough microwave radiation at once to cook food, as in hoax videos going around the internet, such as this one popping popcorn:

If you slow the video down and look closely you can see the popcorn image appear and disappear by video editing.

Likewise, cell phones can’t cook an egg, as easily faked here:

In this TV demo, even 100 phones will not cook an egg:

However, while cell phones won’t cook your brain instantly, they are cooking it slowly over time.

Cell Phone Industry’s Own Scientist Warns Against Cell Use

Dr. George Carlo, hired by the cell phone industry to determine if cell phones are damaging to humans, discovered they radically increase the risk of brain and eye cancer. When he attempted to report his findings to the public, the industry tried to shut him up and suppress his findings. Dr. Carlo cites studies showing conclusively that cell phones pose a clear cancer risk. Particularly alarming is the practice of cell companies targeting children, and children’s patterns of use. For example, he notes that children on average use 2600 minutes of cell time per month (86 minutes a day on average), and they often leave their phones on under their pillows next to their head while sleeping. He also cites 30,000 and 50,000 cases of brain and eye cancer are attributable to cell phone use. 1.9 billion people use cell phones worldwide, and it represents an unprecedented public health risk, beyond the costs and damage of cigarettes. If you think cell phones aren’t that bad, think again. Every time you make a call, think of smoking a cigarette. It won’t kill you instantly, but it can do lethal damage.
