Mobile phones more dangerous than smoking?  

Sunday, May 10, 2009

File this under “suspicious,” but when an award winning neurosurgeon is saying this, people do listen. According to cancer expert Dr. Vini Khurana, who did a study on the harmful effects of mobile phone use, mobile phones could become the number one killer of people, coming in ahead of smoking and asbestos.

Apparently, if a person has been using a mobile phone for more than 10 years their chances of getting brain cancer are doubled. He went on to add: “The incidence of malignant brain tumors and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically.”

Sounds scary and I’m not sure what to think about it. Any thoughts?
