Cell Phones=Cancer

An article recently posted on the Fox News website headlines an ongoing study that the World Health Organization has been doing attempting to link cell phone use to a cause of cancer. This study has been going on for 10 years and cost 30 million dollars and the conclusion is that there may be a "significantly increased risk" of some brain tumors "related to the use of mobile phones for a period of ten years or more." Then the article goes on to quote Elisabeth Cardis, the head of the study, who then states "In the absence of definitive results and in the light of a number of studies which, though limited, suggest a possible effect of radiofrequency radiation, precautions are important."
I'm not sure if I am the only one who thinks this but this study is absolutely ridiculous and has gone on for way too long. Lets take a second look at these numbers, 10 years and 30 million dollars and here is what we got:
"In the absence of definitive results..." That is amazing, 10 years and 30 million dollars down the drain to produce an "absence of definitive results." The only reason this study is still going on because it is being funded by the same group of morons from 10 years ago who could not accept the fact that cell phones were going to end up being the next generation form of communication, so in their sad attempt at digging for a reason to get rid of cell phones they found cancer. Finally 10 years and 30 million dollars later they have gotten absolutely nowhere and are now making ridiculous claims, with no real merit, to hold on to what little publicity they still have. Here is an idea for the World Health Organization instead wasting 10 years and 30 million dollars maybe they should put it towards cancer research, which would show this study for what it already is: an epic waste of time and money.
