Cellphones are dangerous / not dangerous: Danish study tilts toward the latter

Cellphones are dangerous / not dangerous: Danish study tilts toward the latter

Chalk one up for the chatterboxes. In a study spanning 18 years and more than 350,000 test subjects, researchers in Denmark have found no connection between cellphone usage and brain cancer. The landmark project, carried out by Denmark's Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, was published online last week in the British Medical Journal, and is just the latest in a series of similarly optimistic studies. Of the 358,403 cellphone owners examined, only 356 were found to have a brain tumor, while 856 were diagnosed with cancer of the central nervous system - percentages that are comparable to those seen among non-mobile users.
