Thanks for the heads-up on the latest cell phone-related 'study'.
Most readers of these forums know that I've long been a scoffer of the 'cell phones cause ANs' theory. I still am. This latest - positive - 'finding' is interesting and once again shows the dichotomy inherent in many scientific studies. Because I'm old enough to have seen many of these highly referenced 'scientific' studies proven wrong or at least their conclusions abandoned as time went on, I no longer put much faith in lab tests with mice and/or monkeys as subjects. This certainly would include negative or positive consequences of cell phone use in human beings.
I concur with 'TP' that while information is certainly useful, as adults living in a free society, we get to make our own choices. So far, anyway. I really don't care what other people do with their cell phones. I use mine infrequently but if I had to use it more often, I wouldn't worry about it at all. That's my decision to make and if it's harmful to me, which I very much doubt, I'll suffer any consequences....no one else (excluding family members, of course). Obviously, no sane person wants to do things that are harmful to their health - and that certainly includes me. As individuals, we take what information is available and do with it what we chose. Some of us chose to avoid any electronic device being close to our heads while others never give it a thought. Some avoid caffeine as if it were poison and believe they're doing something beneficial for their well being. Others (like me) drink lots of coffee every day of our lives and never give it a thought because it has no discernible negative effect on us, even after consuming it in copious amounts for over 50 years. Thus the ancient Latin phrase "to each his own" is apt in this instance.
