@lyricw OK…I read the complete study twice and nowhere does it talk about the phone being in the front hip pocket - even though the photo at the top of the article is a man’s denim clad hips with a cellphone poking out of it… totally misleading, isn’t it?
Also, they compared PCa cases using cordless phones as well, not just mobile. They claim the highest grade cancers occur in men who used either type of phone…really? How many men today use a landline phone? I have one and seldom use it.
Officeworkers, unless they are using headsets, almost always use their cellphones, even with a landline sitting right in front of them.
Also, they tried to equate the highest Gleason scores to phone use…and failed because their rationale is akin to saying, ‘ A large cohort of Men who breathed air in their homes, had high Gleason scores…’
That said, nothing would surprise me concerning brain cancer incidence in the older satellite type phones - the power was continuous and the antenna was your head!!
BTW, I had never used a cell phone in my life and rarely used a cordless one up until the day of my diagnosis of Gleason 4+3 unfavorable at age 64; It is only over the last 4 yrs that I use one….so??
I am not a fan of high frequency radio waves zipping all around us, PFOA’s (which the article also mentions) and other environmental factors as yet unknown, but there is no solution to these modern problems other than living off the grid like a hermit…not gonna do that with what little time I have left! Great find, BTW…
