Cancer rates are rising and we're not sure why. Is that acceptable?
- xorfish 7y agoThere are quite a few obvious reasons why cancer rates are rising. * People get older * Cancer detection is improving * Cancer mortality is sinking

- markus92 7y agoAnd mortality by non-cancer causes is dropping (e.g. car accidents, infectious diseases).
- smolder 7y agoAnd a rise in carcinogenic substances in air, water, and food. Maybe changes in the landscape of pathogens. You can't really rule out additional causes or contributers based on knowing some.
- bhouston 7y agoA lot of cancer rates rising is pollution, but we generally believe most of it is chemical forms of pollution, not electromagnetic. That said, I am sure there are structures in the body that can selective absorb or react to non-ionizing radiation that we may not yet know about. Our cellular mechanisms are impressively complex.
- LeonM 7y agoNo, it is not acceptable, and I didn't say that it is. It is a good thing that we spend research effort into identifying why this is happening. All I'm saying is that I have concluded, for myself, that EM-radiation is the least of my worries when it comes to negative effects (including cancer).

- ajsnigrutin 7y agoIf there was an outbreak of cancers at the right side of the head (the place where we usually hold our phone while talking on it), we'd know. But there aren't.
