I happened to catch a segment on the late-night repeat of the
"Oprah Show" regarding cell phones. You may still be able to
listen by going to:
http://www2.oprah.com/index.jhtml
Oprah was interviewing Dr. Mehmet Oz (see background data
below). An audience member asked the question: "Do I need
to be concerned about brain cancer from cell phones?" [ Not
verbatim...jcm..4-27-07]
Dr. Oz's response was more or less: ".....well, can
take a number of years....but......studies have shown brain cells are
affected by cell phones.......may actually find some problems down the
road......use speakers.....landline......blue tooth are
receivers....."
Oprah was asked whether she uses a cell phone. Her response
was "no..." Take care - Joanne
