RE: Bad signal - Mobile phones and Cancer

in #science8 years ago

I read something years ago , so I do not remember the figures but it was about how the dramatic rise in breast cancer in the hispanic community was linked to their fashion for storing their phones in their bras.
We know that we are bombard with radiation from technology on a daily basis but the distance to the source seems to be an important factor in whether or not cancer develops.

Sort:  

You probably read it at a blog of some tinfoiler. The organization in charge of finding a cure for cancer, denies that.

Edit: Forgot to add, the increase on rates of breast Cancer cases is actually for a positive reason: Awareness. Today is rare that a woman exists no knowing how to check for lumps on her, the early detection "raises" a statistic, where 50 years ago women died with a tumor not knowing they had it. Another key factor is age, as the body wears off cancer risk is higher. With an average death age of 80+ we've today a much higher risk of having Cancer (1 in 8 if we are over 70, as a matter of fact).

Regarding breast Cancer, I would say that it's the only case where people should be happy about, the survival rates ALSO shot up, thanks to the early detection women perform at home. 2 out of 3 women with breast cancer now survive the disease beyond 20 years, compared to less than half in the 90s.
