Maybe your phone DOES cause cancer after all...

[Fedorgasm]

Years ago, studies showed that the link between cell phones and cancer was so weak that you basically did not need to ever worry about it.

However, new studies are showing that the link may be stronger than they originally thought, at least in rats. We don't know yet how bad it is for humans.

We do know that the further away it is from your body, the lower the radiation, even if it's only an inch. So I think I'm going to try to stop carrying my phone in my pocket constantly, and instead put it in my backpack or maybe even one of those phone holsters that clips to your belt might help, as that can get it maybe half an inch further from your body.

When turned on, cell phones and other wireless devices emit EF radiation continually, even if they are not being actively used, because they are always communicating with cell towers. The dose intensity tails off with increasing distance from the body, and reaches a maximum when the devices are used next to the head during phone calls or in front of the body during texting or tweeting.

meh its worth it for the lolz i get on teh mayberry

 

[Jesus X]

in reality everything causes cancer our bodies are a terrible design and get several types of cancer from almost anything we do in our day to day lives.

I don't snitch -> not concerned

 

[Pliny Pete]

Oh science was wrong again huh?
Im shocked
Shocked I say

 

[Pliny Pete]

Useless fuckin scientists are the real crooks

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

There are studies that contradict other studies in every single field of study. That's why science is a little truth and a lot of bullshit.

everything causes cancer...

 

[Michaelangelo]

gonna go smoke a cigarette, drink some beer, and eat some bbq ribs to get over this

 

[Don Quixote]

BTW. I heard a new FDA study suggests smoking 1-2 cigars a day causes little or no risk.

Doesn’t have much to do with the thread I just thought I’d throw that out there.

Really......" A terrible design " ? Perfect its not , but pretty fucking stupidly hyperbolic to claim its " a terrible design " . Were at the height of our technological powers right now and we couldn't get close to building something better as a whole.

I wish they would link to the actual study in the article. Doctors are notorious for poor methodology when it comes to statistics. At least from my experience they are. I would like to see how they did this.

Yeah, if you live past a certain age your likelihood of getting many types of cancers goes through the roof. Basically once you're past reproductive age your body stops giving a shit.

I even heard if they figure out how to turn off senescence in cells (so they don't hit their expiry date) the process of division would still mean an immortal human would eventually be 100% cancer on a long enough time scale.

The only way to truly be safe from the dangers of modern civilization is to isolate oneself in the woods of rural America.

Oh fuck, I got mauled by a bear.

The problem with science isn't the research for the most part, it's the goddamn useless science writers who feel the need to turn the mundane into the sensational. The study explained:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/cell-phones-and-cancer-random-chance-in-clinical-trials/

Tl;dr: Study goal was to test toxicity in animals with massively exaggerated radiation levels, not see if normal cell phone use causes cancer in humans. The positive findings in the study are likely a statistical mirage, as If you make enough comparisons in a study, purely by chance some links will be made. When put in a physiological context, these links become meaningless.

What I want to know is who were the rats calling?

I only communicate via text anyway since human contact makes me anxious
