Mobile Risk

[mmoney]

Mobile phones are such an important part of our everyday lives that most of us probably couldn’t imagine life without them.

However, just this recently it was announced that a six year study has found there is a ‘hint’ of a higher cancer risk from using mobile phones, although no one really seems to know how significant it might be.

What we don’t know for sure is the long term effects of using mobiles because they haven’t been around long enough for us to find out. We also don’t know if they could cause more damage to children than adults.

How do you feel about using your mobile phone if it turns out there is a small increased risk of getting cancer?

I feel that even though there is a risk of cancer from using a mobile phone it won't stop me from using my phone completely but, it has made me more conscious on using my mobile phone constantly I never knew that the radiation generated from a mobile phone handset could enhance and increase the probability of cancer even if it's a small increase it's still increased so to me it's still a issue and risk.

I don't think it will change how many times I use my phone, however that been said I don't use my phone that much and if anything I text more then call people which I am not sure has the same effect or not.

it will not stop me using my phone at all.
i know there is a risk but you dont think about that when using phones do ya?
and yes i text rather than call anyways but i think it dosent make a difference.
