Rants & Raves

February 07, 2002 News Articles

I had an new idea for my rants entries. How about finding the links to the news articles that they discuss at the beginning of the show?

Oops, I checked the TSS show notes, and they've already started doing that. Yesterday. Oh well. I feel like that guy in the commercial about bad timing. But they did leave one out, the article on nematodes being exposed to microwaves:

Mobile Safety Debate Heats Up.

What wasn't mentioned on the show was the significance that these findings have on the debate over whether cell phones cause cancer. They found that the nematodes (basically, small worms) grew faster when exposed to cell phone radiation. Cancer occurs when cells that shouldn't be dividing and growing begin to do so out of control. However, there's no evidence yet that the microwave radiation causes DNA mutation, which is the necessary trigger for cancer.
