As you can see according to this article the use of cell phone is fairly safe but we're talking about long term use of the bluetooth in your ear. When I was a commercial driver, my own doctor who works for the New York Department of Transportation strongly advised against bluetooth and told me that it would be safer if I use the wired ear piece when driving. Many of these studies haven't been done long enough on a controlled scale to truly know the long term effects. It's a toss up , but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Looks like extremely weak evidence or even evidence against it. Like to state one obvious problem, people who use cell phones may have a slightly different diet or lifestyle to those who don't. Case-Control study in US doesn't show anything. One swedish one finds statistically significant amount (which IIRC means above 5%) and one doesn't. It honestly doesn't look like anything to worry about. I suppose it does take a while for us to know for sure, and the studies haven't shown there's definitely nothing.

In these days it seems like everything can cause cancer, even a lot of the bottled water brands have been shown in an investigation done by the F.D.A here in the U.S. to not be as pure and safe to drink as certain companies claim. I think I have a better chance of surviving a bite from a Sydney funnel web spider than food poisoning from a New York restaurant. If you want to take your chances with bluetooth use, go ahead if you're comftorable with it

Well plastic bottles is another topic entirely, but I try to avoid them wherever possible especially if they've had water in them for a while. I'll buy stuff from the store but I'd never drink from a gym bottle that's had water left in it for a month. There's loads of evidence behind the problems with BPAs. About bluetooth: basically to sum up as I said earlier, it looks like the evidence for bluetooth could go either way.

Originally posted by Dj Skez Diseases that can be caused to exposure to Bluetooth technology It is been observed in many studies that all wireless technology that emits microwave radiation and is exposed to the human body has a long term effect on us causing many diseases like:

according to the site you provided, there have been plenty of studies re non-ionized radiation, from well before cellphones achieved common usage:

quote:

Exposure to ionizing radiation, such as from radiation therapy, is known to increase the risk of cancer. However, although many studies have examined the potential health effects of non-ionizing radiation from radar, microwave ovens, and other sources, there is currently no consistent evidence that non-ionizing radiation increases cancer risk. The only known biological effect of radiofrequency energy is heating. The ability of microwave ovens to heat food is one example of this effect of radiofrequency energy. Radiofrequency exposure from cell phone use does cause heating; however, it is not sufficient to measurably increase body temperature. A recent study showed that when people used a cell phone for 50 minutes, brain tissues on the same side of the head as the phone’s antenna metabolized more glucose than did tissues on the opposite side of the brain (2). The researchers noted that the results are preliminary, and possible health outcomes from this increase in glucose metabolism are still unknown.

quote:

Cancer Leukemia Brain Tumors Alzheimer Autism ADD Miscarriages Birth Defects Autoimmune illnesses / degenerative diseases Multiple sclerosis Hair loss As we use the Bluetooth device in our ear, it exposes our ear, brain and the eyes to a strong field of microwave radiation which may cause: Deafness Brain Tumors Blindness Neck pain / stiffness Skin rashes Headaches

anytime someone identifies a single-cause for every health ailment under the sun, it is cause for immediate scepticism. by what mechanism does the radiation cause all those problems?

the WHO released THIS press release in 2011 suggesting a link between cellphone use and one particular form of cancer. hardly enough to justify an entire list of nasties.

quote:

We need to know that microwave frequencies have a short wavelength but rapid rate of oscillation which enables them to travel long distances carrying information without any wire. These short wavelengths with rapid oscillation enable them to penetrate through even living tissues down to a cellular level. So, now I think we have an idea of idea about how this Bluetooth technology functions and how much harm it may cause to our health.

im no expert on radiation, but this reeks of pseudoscientific bollocks.

Worse. It's not unverified claims. It's just wrong.
