NEWS FLASH! Cell Phones don't cause cancer!

Michael Fumento, a senior fellow of the Hudson Institute, has a fascinating story on the development and debunking of the Cell Phones Cause Cancer myth. "Now the largest study ever on the issue has been released and it finds .... cell phones have no link to brain cancer." Phew, that's a relief - I was convinced SUV driving soccer mom's were an endangered species.

The cell phone industry has commissioned numerous studies of this problem and as Fumento puts it:

Overwhelmingly they have found no correlation with cancer, although the phones do increase the risk of automobile accidents and often enough seem to turn users into obnoxious cretins.

So if you are going to chat and drive, buckle up and make sure your auto insurance is paid up.
