Very good overall. But I seriously question the statement "Your cellphone does not in itself cause cancer." This is in direct conflict with findings of the REFLEX Project, which reported multiple replications of double-strand DNA chain breaks at exposure to cellphone-type radiation within official 'safety' levels. Double-strand DNA chain breaks CAUSE cancer. The REFLEX studies were carried out on groups of living cells in Petri dishes. As the leader of the project stated: these results don't prove conclusively that such radiation poses serious health risks to humans - but it is strongly indicative of such a possibility (almost his exact words). Even more explicitly, the study's Summary on 'Genotoxic Effects' (which can be broadly interpreted as 'effects likely to cause cancer'): ?Based on the methodology used and the data obtained in the REFLEX study, the findings on genotoxicity caused by RF-EMF are hard facts.? How one can state definitively in the face of such evidence "Your cellphone does not in itself cause cancer" is quite beyond me. I've attached my summary of the REFLEX Study findings, for reference. A good article - a shame it was slightly marred by such an unwarranted assertion which goes against the available evidence.
