Buried in their user manuals, cell phone companies specifically instruct us that phones should not be held close to the body. Without following those instructions, we risk being exposed to levels of radiation that are deemed unsafe. At the same time, significant research is showing cell phone radiation can damage the nervous., reproductive, and immune systems. Many scientists recommend reduced exposure, especially for children who are more vulnerable.
The problem is, today’s cell phones are still new, and we won’t know the full impact for years. That means that now, we’re all part of an experiment – we have a group of heavy users taking risks and a control group taking precautions. To know which group to join, we need the facts up front.
