<p>Gee because they are great to compare 
</p>
<p>I’ll agree cell phones can be dangerous. But so can cars, so can alcohol (gasp!!), so can sleeping.</p>
<p>Smoking, on the other hand, provides LITTLE if any benefits.</p>
<p>Hey barrons,

<p>here is a link to another article</p>
<p>[Public</a> health: The hidden menace of mobile phones - Health News, Health & Wellbeing - The Independent](<a href=“http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/public-health-the-hidden-menace-of-mobile-phones-396225.html]Public”>http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/public-health-the-hidden-menace-of-mobile-phones-396225.html)</p>
<p>These articles tend to follow the line of the ‘vaccines give you autism’ hype. There have been just as many, if not many more, studies that show there is no effect. </p>
<p>The ‘evidence’ is very thin at best and they all suffer from the same experimental dilemmas… namely that the use of both (vaccines and mobile phones) is so widespread that it’s difficult if not impossible to do a proper study with proper blind positive and blind negative controls. Consequently any subsequent strong assertions of doom and gloom are generally grossly unwarranted. </p>
<p>I’m not saying we shouldn’t pay attention to such things and always monitor the available evidence for things to be concerned about… but headline grabbing doom and gloom statements (unsupported by widely accepted and rigorous experimental techniques) doesn’t really help anyone.</p>
