Calling all cell phone users: There is evidence of a new risk of cancer from your mobile device.


A study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that those who held a handset to their ear for several hours a day (an average of 22 hours per month) were 50-percent more likely to develop a tumor in the parotid gland.

I like the story (of dubious origin) of two Russian experimenters who sat an egg between two cell phones, set one cell phone up to call the other, and played a recording to simulate conversation. Supposedly, after a little more than an hour, the egg was fully cooked. This is your brain, this is your brain on cell phones.
