REAL LIFE NEWS: HOLD ON, MOBILE PHONES MAY CAUSE CANCER AFTER ALL! (OR MAYBE NOT…)

by Hazed

No sooner do I tell you that you can stop worrying about your mobile phone giving you brain cancer but a new study comes out to ring alarm bells all over again.

Or maybe not.

The researchers have announced that in a study of 90 rats which were giving varying doses of radiation, two kinds of cancers seen. Oh no! Put down your mobile immediately!

However, there are problems with the study – chiefly that 90 rats makes for a very small sample size, that the cancers only appeared in male rats, and that the rats that were irradiated lived longer than those which received no dose. Something odd there, surely!

So no need to stop yakking on the phone after all.
