the cellphone causing cancer theory has nothing to do with ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation. it has to do with the fact that cell phones are shown to alter brain activity in the area localized to where the phone is physically placed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184892/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3184892/ (nyt background story: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/cellphone-use-tied-to-changes-in-brain-activity/ http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/cellphone-use-tied-...)
- brador 12y agoFascinating stuff! Could it be possible the phone near the ear that was on muted call was causing static electricity in the hair in the ear canal, causing the spike in brain glucose in that region as the brain senses it?
