  1. I don't know if I believe all these studies done, of course am not an expert in the field. Sometimes feels like its scare mongering

  2. if you truly believed all the studies, you'd live under a rock ;)

    love how a study can tell you that we will see the fruits of this in the future... what is it with you and studies that rely on data to come James (heh)

  3. I thought they had decided that mobiles posed no threat?

    Meh, I never pay attention to these studies anyway, I'd never make it past my front gate otherwise.

  4. I thought this had been discounted previously too. However long term studies will eventually tell the tale more accurately.

    It seems everything is fraught with danger these days.
