So less dangerous than bacon, then, and only if you appropriately exclude studies in the same manner that they did.
- abracadaniel 5y agoJust the 60% increase is obviously false. We've had cell phones for decades, and plenty are using them more than 17 minutes a day, so we should see that 60% increase in brain cancer... but we don't. In fact we've seen a steady decrease. https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/brain.html https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/brain.html Maybe cell phones prevent brain cancer by exciting the immune system via whatever mechanism he proposes that it also "promotes the growth of drug-resistant pathogens" /s
