Don't trust your cell phone

Remember all that talk about cell phones causing cancer, way back when mobile devices were the size of small bricks? We haven't heard too much on that subject lately, but that doesn't mean the supposed problem has gone away. In fact, a prominent cancer doctor has recently advised his staff to limit cell phone use because of the possible cancer risk. I'm no expert but I think that probably means we should be a bit concerned.

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman points out that while there's no definitive proof of a link between cell phones and cancer, it's better to play it safe than take a 'no news is good news' approach. "Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Dr. Herberman told The Associated Press.

I'm not tossing mine just yet, but this definitely gives me the motivation to keep my calls short and sweet. What do you think?
